After COVID, John Armstrong’s health kept getting worse. Severe fatigue, brain fog, memory problems, and crashes began affecting his work, his family, and his ability to be the active father and provider he had always been.

After seeing doctor after doctor without getting a clear explanation for everything he was experiencing, John was nearly ready to stop looking. Then his wife convinced him to try one more doctor.

That appointment changed the direction of his care.

John shares his experience being treated for Long COVID, later discovering Lyme disease and iliac vein compression, undergoing treatment and stenting, and gradually seeing parts of his life return.

He and Summer also talk about the emotional side of chronic illness, losing trust in your own body, grieving the person you used to be, and why finding the right people to keep asking questions can matter so much.
