10 - Amanda Finley - Covid-19 Long-Haulers

Episode 10 of the Long Covid Podcast is a conversation with Amanda Finley from the USA. Amanda caught Covid right at the start of the pandemic before developing Long Covid and since then has been a real force of nature helping those with Long Covid.

We talk about her initial illness, how it progressed and how things in the USA are very different to my experiences in the UK. Amanda has crossed paths with and helped so many people, despite being ill and dealing with many of her own struggles, and it's really inspiring and humbling to hear her speak.

Amanda was an absolute joy to speak to, so I hope you enjoy listening as much as I did.
