Critics Review

An insiders perspective to Long COVID, the nervous system, and evidence-based rehabilitation modalities. A must read for patients and providers.

What a fantastic book! Game-changing for those with Long Covid and those who want to help them. Feeling heard and believed is the only way to find the healing that we all desperately need. Lucy’s book provides a pathway full of hope, to follow when you are struggling to make sense of your symptoms. – Alice Riley, Living with Long Covid since October 2020An insiders perspective to Long COVID, the nervous system, and evidence-based rehabilitation modalities. A must-read for patients and providers. – Josh Duntz, CEO and founder of the Stasis Breathing Programme, Mount Sinai HospitalA must read, a book that I can 100% resonate with as a fellow LC sufferer. To anyone suffering with this debilitating illness or to family, friends and health care professionals, you will gain a greater insight to the life changing effects of the illness. You will no longer feel alone on this journey. Thank you for raising much needed awareness to this frustratingly new illness. Wishing all LC sufferers answers and more poignantly health and recovery. – Llinos Llafar Rollinson, BSc Hons Nursing Studies RN Adult, DipHE RN Child PGDip SPPNLucy Gahan is tough. It was difficult watching her go through month after month of trials and error in an effort to recover from Long Covid. While each patient is on a singular journey, we walk together to try to find common ground and for glimpses of hope along the path and flickers of light as we stare down into the long, dark tunnel. I give Lucy the utmost credit in continuing to move forward, and to search for answers, when at times, it must have seemed impossible. Taking it a step further and wanting to write this book to help those that have come behind her, and unfortunately, will probably come behind them demonstrates Lucy’s perseverance and Lucy’s humanity. – Noah Greenspan, PT, DPT, CCS, EMT-B, Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Clinical Specialist, Director, Pulmonary Wellness & Rehabilitation Complex, New York City
