It's episode 12 of Carrie's Always Talking! At the top of the episode, Carrie discusses the choice to make this 12th episode the last of the season. She thanks her listeners for following along for the last couple of months and encourages anyone who wants to come on the podcast for season 2 to reach out.
In this episode, Carrie chats with Brianna Beasley, who graciously shares her experience with Long Covid. Brianna discusses life before her diagnosis in 2021 and the changes she's been forced to make in her life because of her health concerns that developed in the months after her acute infection. She explores the concept of "pacing" in order to learn one's limitations when living with a chronic illness. Brianna also discusses her doctors and some of their theories around how long covid develops along with the treatments that have been most helpful for her thus far in her bid for recovery. Her story is one of resilience and determination, and the hope is that listeners learn more about this diagnosis and also gain a better understanding of what challenges individuals with disabilities can face in day-today life. Anyone can become disabled at any time, and Brianna does an amazing job at providing useful information while being vulnerable in sharing her story.
Brianna's story is not intended to be medical advice, she encourages those listening to do their own research. She does provide some references that have been helpful for her, and those are included in the notes below.
