KENSINGTON – “November 2020 is when I tested positive,” says Kathy Spencer, a mother of three, of her Covid diagnosis. “I don’t know where I got it, we were always so careful.”

But this longtime educator found herself in the ICU, a traumatic experience.

“The Covid unit was something out of a sci-fi movie,” she says, noting that she was left with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and much more.

“My neurologist has diagnosed me with a condition called dystonia,” says the Covid long lauler who shakes, has trouble walking, speaking and doing things she used to love.
