Fantastic results and feedback from @bridgesselfmgmt LISTEN project looking at support for long-COVID 🙌

"They just don’t know what to say other than...”but you are so young!?” I have learnt this is ok. Until it happened to me I would never have known just how many #strokes occur in younger people. It is now my turn to educate." https://t.co/kR3zEarOAe

Accepting that you need a rest when the ‘fuzzy head’ begins and not to push it as you get over tired and then can’t switch off at all. Remember it will get better, I’ve been improving for the last 7 Years! https://t.co/IVRMAW30Po

Too many people are getting weaker & weaker & will end up in old people's homes. Physios need to step up. The CSP: https://t.co/GrcQxNc4UL
