The Moss Cure

Exploring the impact of a new disability, Long Covid, and the changing self. Written with a wry wit.

The Moss Cure draws on Ramona Herdman's experience of being disabled by Long Covid and ME/CFS. In it, she tackles topics such as medical gaslighting, 'the nature cure' and other opportunistic 'miracle cures', acceptance of the changing self, and the impact of a new disability on friendships and romantic relationships, writing with a lush delight in language and a wry wit.
