Chronic Illness is a Dynamic Disability - Victoria Urquhart Part 1

Victoria Urquhart (she/her) is an actor, playwrite, grant writer, and advocate who lives with Long Covid and has been seeking answers (and treatments) for years.

Victoria has written a stageplay called "I Can Fly", about the experience of growing up as an undiagnosed "AuDHD" person.

In this first portion of the interview, Victoria tells her story of how she got long covid, how she figured out that's what it was, and the fight to get doctors to recognize it formally so she could get the help she needed.

She is just one more case of a chronically ill person having to do their own research and advocacy. Want to make your digital documents and files more accessible?
