What the Hell is Long Covid

As the saying goes: “There are those who learned by listening; there are those who learned by reading; and there are those who peed on the electric fence and learned by themselves.”

I have the unenviable task of telling you what you don’t want to hear: namely, that, regardless of how fit and healthy you are, regardless of whether you’ve received a Covid shot or not, and regardless of how much you believe you “beat” Covid – you may be done with Covid, but Covid’s not done with you.

This book is my harrowing story of how I learned this to be the case – how I learned what Covid is, and why the clandestine, virtually undetectable (for now) long-term effects of Covid are the real menace of Covid. I learned the hard way, 20 months and counting of the most grueling and near-death case of Long Covid you can imagine – and, in retrospect, see oh so much shoulda-coulda-woulda. Don’t be like me. Because time is of the essence here. Learn by reading and listening. Learn What the Hell is Long Covid, now. It took me losing 50+ pounds in a few weeks, two autoimmune diseases, and a parade of horribles, to learn – learn the easy way what I learned the hard way.
