I don't know who needs to hear this, but your pain is valid, even if it's invisible. If no one else believes you, I believe you are in pain.

Long COVID isn’t rare just rarely recognised.

Believing patients is not about blind faith.
It’s about clinical humility.
About partnership.
About healing relationships—even when the science is catching up.
Because care without cure is still care.
