How can virtual care better support people with Long COVID?

At the 4th Canadian Symposium for Long COVID, Kayli Jamieson, who has lived with Long COVID for almost five years, introduced a new guidebook with national recommendations for improving virtual care.

The guidebook draws on a national survey of 621 participants, focus groups and artwork capturing patients’ experiences.

It explores barriers to accessing virtual care and offers practical policy recommendations to help make services more accessible and inclusive.

Patient voices matter. Their experiences must help shape the future of healthcare.

Today is Severe M.E. Awareness day. A day that makes me feel such heavy grief, not only for what my life could have been like if I hadn’t got sick at 14, but for the millions of people who suffer around the world from this utterly devastating illness. 

I had severe M.E. for several years as a teenager, and it put my entire life to a stop. I left school, and lay in bed for years, as friends went to college, and then uni, and went on to live their lives. I was completely bedbound, had a stairlift in the house, a commode next to my bed, and I was barely existing. 

That’s the reality of Severe M.E. 

It takes every single thing from you, and when you try and try to get better, the symptoms get worse and worse. 

It is hell.

August 8th, marks the birthday of Sophia Mirza. She was the first person in the UK to have Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) officially recorded as the cause of death. 

Today honours those living with severe M.E. whom are living with disabling fatigue and a mariad of symptoms.
Most are housebound, bedbound, and often living in complete darkness and silence, as they cannot even tolerate light or sound. 

I hope this video helps raise a little more awareness, and I want to say a huge thank you to the incredible people in this video for trusting me with your footage 💕

Please watch. Please share. This is ours - and so many others’ - reality.
These stories deserve to be seen.

💕 Thank you to @franhaddock_ & @amykatherrrine for their help with this video

[ VD : A video of Alice’s followers showing them before and after they got sick with M.E. with each persons name on screen, and some information about the illness. ] 💙

After a life-changing infection with COVID-19 one semester into her graduate degree, from which she developed Long COVID, Kayli Jamieson dedicated her research to Long COVID studies and community advocacy to raise awareness for this ongoing pandemic. 
 
Now graduating this month, Kayli will be continuing her Long COVID research here at SFU!

Long COVID is causing serious long-term health risks, including heart, neurological, and immune complications, even after mild infections.

Beyond the physical impact, many face isolation, disbelief, and lack of adequate medical support.

We must listen, take it seriously, and do more to protect and support those affected.
