📌Navigating life with Long Covid not only focuses on biographical adaptations but also on ‘reworlding’; practices in which young people work at ‘remaking’ their social and material worlds, including ways which invite us to better understand what ‘recovery’ might mean.

📌Living experiences of Long Covid are made up of ‘looping effects’ which entangle together the physical as well as social impacts of illness over time, including the ongoing effects of the pandemic and of struggles accessing care.

Key messages:
📌 We draw on a qualitative longitudinal study among young people navigating Long Covid in the UK to explore how young people’s biographies of self and future as well as social worlds alter in relation to experiences of Long Covid.

Thank you to the panelists for sharing their experiences.
Key messages:
📌 Caregiving is a journey that changes over time.
📌 There is a partnership between the person with Long COVID and their families and a good partnership is key.
📌 The caregiver also needs to be supported.

Tracy shares, "We need to remember, as caregivers, we need to take breaks to fill our cups so we have the energy to support the people will love. It’s the little things in life that will move us forward."

Kelly shares that at the beginning, it was very frightening. “We knew something was wrong – it was frustrating dealing with medical professionals who said there was nothing wrong but we knew something was wrong”

Chris shares about how scary it was at the start to learn a family member had COVID. He says, "At this point in the journey, we have a lot of great people around us but at the same time, not a lot of answers."

📌 Exercise intolerance and post-exertional malaise in long COVID and ME/CFS reflect intrinsic biological dysfunction, not simple deconditioning.
