Brian Campbell on finding his way through the dark

Brian had always been an active person, who loved fishing and being outdoors, and a creative person who loved drawing and listening to music. His job as an auditor at a major bank required precision and rapid response, but he navigated it with ease.

That was before he started experiencing symptoms of Long COVID in March of 2023. All of a sudden, he was struggling to form sentences and dealing with intense migraines and heart palpitations. He went through months of medical testing, with every test coming back 'normal'. He didn’t know what to do.

In the fall of 2023, he was finally diagnosed with Long COVID. Shortly after, Brian found an article about Dr. Kieran Quinn’s work and reached out to him for support. Follow Brian’s journey of becoming Dr. Quinn’s patient, learn how he’s doing now, and what brings him hope as he continues to cope with his symptoms.

Brian spent many weeks sitting in the dark, literally. Learn how Dr. Quinn helped him see a path forward.
