Walking has always been my main form of transport through my adopted city. When I first moved to Paris in 2015, long walks helped me understand both the city and my place in it. Later, walking became simply written into my days, the rhythm and ease of movement both practical (when I have to go to a meeting) and meditative (when I have to overcome writer's block).
Months later, I was still in bed, a rolling list of symptoms moving through my body: brain fog, exhaustion, body aches, chest and lung pressure, tachycardia (a too-fast heart rate), difficulty breathing, loss of smell and taste, vertigo, nerve pain, headaches, light and sound sensitivity, hair loss, short-term memory loss, and more.
