Description

I'm Renee and in 2022, I caught Covid 19. It flipped my world upside down. I went from being a City Councillor for Palmerston North, to being bedbound and in a powerchair. I've now been diagnosed with Long Covid, Fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue. I'm still waiting on hospital departments so will probably end up with more diagnoses. I would say I'm now 3% of what I used to be. I started this radio show/podcast to remind the world that there are loads of people in Aotearoa New Zealand who are struggling, and they need our support. Each episode features: - a special interest interview from an organisation, medical professional, politician or advocate - a breathing exercise - relaxing instrumental music - an interview from someone with lived experience of chronic illness - a Call to Action To get in touch email: sickandtiredaotearoa@gmail.com
