“Connection is the energy that is created between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued–when they can give and receive without judgment.”
– Dr. Brene Brown
Who We Are
We are a community of families affected by post-infectious diseases.
Long Covid Families was founded in 2021 by Megan Carmilani, who developed post-viral syndromes (POTS, MCAS, and ME/CFS) after two separate Mononucleosis diagnoses as a child. When the pandemic hit, Megan was approached by friends who were experiencing symptoms that Megan had for years. She decided to create Long Covid Families – the community that she needed as a child.
