An Ally for the Long Haul

Episode 12: Born to be Horizontal, Forced to be Vertical

Navigating Long Covid in Your Early 20s on A Friend for the Long Haul

This week on A Friend for the Long Haul, I'm joined by Ally, who got hit with covid right before her college graduation, which developed into long covid. We explore the unique challenges of starting a new chapter in your twenties after acquiring a chronic illness.

In this episode, you'll hear:

How Ally navigates friendships and relationships
What it was like starting her first job after college with long covid
Ally's journey with pacing and the importance of mobility aidss
The emotions of meeting another long hauler for the first time (Chef Taryn of episode 4!)

Plus, we chat about TurnTo, a brand new app designed specifically for people with long covid and ME/CFS!

TurnTo leverages AI to curate personalized daily content, from the latest research breakthroughs to inspiring user stories. Ally shares her experience with working on the development of the app and how it's helped her on her long haul journey. By the way - this is not an ad, the app is free and so useful.

Feeling lost and alone with long covid in your twenties? This episode is for you! Join us for a supportive conversation and discover some tools and resources you may find useful.
