Long and Winding Road

Lee Holmes writes for Prevention Magazine

Renowned nutritionist and gut health expert Lee Holmes’s life took a sharp detour when she contracted Long COVID in 2022. She shares the lessons she’s learnt and the discoveries she’s made on her lengthy road to recovery.

'My journey with Long COVID began in April 2022. I contracted COVID while travelling in England and figured that, after a week or two, I’d be fine and able to fly home. Three months later, I was still in the UK. My COVID symptoms lasted for weeks and weeks. The fevers, chills and body aches slowly morphed into brain fog and absolutely debilitating fatigue, chronic fatigue, where I’d try to go for a walk, even for five minutes, and then have to spend the next whole day in bed.

I also had terrible chest pain, which was scary. You just don’t know what’s happening. It turned out to be pericarditis (inflammation of the pericardium around the heart). I had to lie in bed on my front for a couple of months because my chest was so painful. When visiting a cardiologist about my pericarditis, he confirmed what I had already suspected: that I had joined the steadily growing Long COVID brigade.'
