Rob’s Long Covid recovery story

Nurse Rob was hospitalised with Covid in 2021. After returning home he continued to struggle with extreme fatigue, severe memory issues and POTS like symptoms. Fluctuating between bedbound and housebound, Rob struggled with depression, feeling as though he had lost his life to this illness.

Through polyvagal theory, understanding his childhood trauma, and the importance of positive talk Rob was able to heal. He now has a better life than before. Recently running a half marathon, he no longer experiences post exertional malaise and lives a life full of function but also peace.
