Preach! If only more providers had important conversations with their patients about the benefits of hospice and society didn't assume hospice = giving up!
Amanda Crowell Itliong@MIShouldTalk23 Oct 2022
Hospice: let’s talk! 1. It is often super awesome! 2. It is about comfort, care and time with loved ones! 3. It’s the meds you need and not the ones you don’t! 4. It is exactly what many of us as patients want for as long as possible at the end of our lives! ❤️

I know this is about chemo brain, but it is also true for Long Covid. I have read articles that discuss the similarities between the two. I have been struggling with Long Covid since May, and it is debilitating differently than most experience. Hugs to others still struggling.
