Welcome to the Vida Loco, the club no one wants to join and everyone wants to leave!

Let’s begin with a truth bomb: if you’re reading this, you probably expected to bounce back from Covid like a spring-loaded Labrador. Instead, you’re more like a sedated tortoise who’s lost the will to race. Congratulations: You may be living with LoCo (Long Covid). And yes, that’s real, despite what that one uncle insists on in the family WhatsApp group.

This book is for you. Whether you got Covid once, twice, or have collected each new variant like limited edition vinyl, and now find yourself exhausted, confused, and Googling things like "Can brain fog make you forget your cat's name?"

The aim here is to mix what I have learned from my accelerated LoCo experience with the healing power of humour. Because if you can’t laugh at yourself while trying to navigate the NHS phone system at 8 am with half a brain, what’s the point?
