Invisible Illness by Emily Mendenhall could have been a holy grail for the community: a person with epistemic authority, a strong social ethic, inspired to write from a personal and relational experience of Long Covid.

We are pleased to welcome Dr Elke Hausmann as a guest writer and friend of Long Covid Advocacy. In this article she delves into the details and controversies of Emily Mendenhall’s new book ‘Invisible Illnesses’ with precision and acuity - providing a much needed analysis for the community.
