Do “Something”: My Attempt at Nutritional Therapy to Minimize Long-Covid Symptoms
You’re not going to find protocols, rituals, or remedies in this book, just a lot of research toward a specific aim and one woman’s search for hope.
Vicky Gilpin was used to managing chronic pain, as she had for decades, but Long-Covid was a whole different matter. After three and a half years of pain, vertigo, unreliability, exhaustion, Post-Exertional Malaise, Post-Exertional Symptom Exacerbation, fear of permanent unseen damage, and a rotating list of daily symptoms, she had to do “something,” not only to try and manage her symptoms, but also to try and find some hope where hers was rapidly diminishing.
Not a victim-blaming, patient-shaming, “nutritional or lifestyle changes solve everything,” manifesto, but one woman’s search to do “something” about her own situation in a minimal way because minimal was all she could spare the energy to muster. Originally and always #veganfortheanimals, Vicky had slid into being a junk-food vegan, which she didn’t realize had the potential to exacerbate the symptoms of chronic illness until now, when she accidentally wrote a book (like you do).
This work combines the flippancy of writing through brain-fog with scholarly research and a dash of personal journey.
Hopefully, it inspires others to find "something" to keep them going.
