A few more quotes:
"… long COVID patients need to prioritize their own energy regardless of what they're being told by those who don't understand the illness."
Spouses need education on Long Covid because
"any kind of lack of awareness or understanding in a family member or close support could potentially isolate the person struggling with long COVID."

Medscape article:
COVID Isolated People. Long COVID Makes It Worse
"Because she lives alone and her closest relatives are an hour and a half away, Tyshynski is dependent on friends. But she's reluctant to lean on them because they already have trouble understanding how debilitating her lingering symptoms can be."
"I've had people pretty much insinuate that I'm lazy"
A sadly familiar story.
