A long Covid sufferer has told how the virus has robbed her of her former life and left her a prisoner in her own home.
Grandmother-of-three Miriam Cullen first caught the virus in March 2020 and has not been able to return to work since. The 62-year-old, from Walkinstown, needs a ventilator to help her breathe and has been diagnosed with a brain disorder.
She said: “I was so active with my grandkids and work. I’m in a yukelele band and there was rehearsals and a social life around that. I would consider myself now just 30 per cent of what I was. It breaks my heart. I didn’t even realise how much I was grieving for my lost life.
