Written from lived experience.
I’ve been living with ME/CFS and Long Covid since 2020, severely affected at the lowest point. Out of that lived experience I wrote Beyond
Survival , woven together with what science and practice have come to understand today.
The book I would have needed myself at the very beginning. And I’m convinced: I wouldn’t have been hit so hard.
- Written to be understood
- Large type and generous line spacing
- Summary pages at the end of the book
- Easy to read, even with Brainfog

Yes. I deliberately designed the book so it works well with Brainfog.
The type is large. The sentences are short. The line spacing is generous. Every chapter ends with a short summary, to remember or for days when little goes.
No. It is for everyone living with Long Covid, Post-Covid, Post-Vac, many forms of chronic exhaustion or a dysregulated nervous system.
I also wrote it deliberately for doctors, specialists and care staff, assessors, and loved ones who genuinely want to understand what this illness means for those of us living with it. Because real support begins with knowledge and understanding.
Both. From my own experience I know how important it is to feel seen and understood. That’s why I wove personal experience together with what science and practice have come to understand today. No healing promises, just orientation and tools for your everyday life, so you can find your own way.

Absolutely. Often we ourselves can’t explain well what is happening inside us, because we don’t always understand it. Yet understanding and support from friends and family is incredibly important.
For severely and very severely affected people it is essential that loved ones truly understand what they need. Having to explain yourself over and over, or being misunderstood, drains energy that is already missing. And in a Crash we often forget ourselves what does us good. When loved ones can offer this gentle outside reminder, it’s an enormous help. At the same time, they learn how to support concretely, and feel less helpless.
