At 24, Louis from Essex is rewriting the script on living with long COVID. Once known for his boundless energy as an advertising executive, he now battles fatigue, muscle pain, and sensory changes daily—yet he’s determined to turn his story into a lifeline for others.
From Diagnosis to Determination
After catching COVID-19 in 2020, Louis thought he’d bounce back fast. Instead, he joined millions worldwide in the 'long haul' club. 💔 'Imagine waking up feeling like you’ve run a marathon—but you’re still in bed,' he says in one viral YouTube video.
The Invisible Battle
💤 Chronic fatigue disrupting work
🌀 Smell/taste distortions (coffee now tastes like gasoline!)
📉 Energy crashes requiring midday naps
Yet Louis keeps his AirPods charged and his camera rolling. 🎥 'Sharing my lows makes others feel less alone,' he explains.
A Beacon of Hope
Through his 50K-strong YouTube community, Louis blends raw vlogs with science-backed recovery tips. His latest series #COVIDComeback features guest experts and fellow long-haulers trading survival hacks—from 'spoon theory' energy management to sensory retraining games.
'This isn’t about being inspirational,' Louis insists. 'It’s about showing up, even when your body feels like a glitchy app.' 🔄
