Connor’s Story

Site created on April 8, 2023

At 24 years of age and healthy, Connor was finishing up his soccer career with the Milwaukee Torrent (a local semi-professional soccer team) and was an active student in nursing school. 

He loves the outdoors and working out. He is the most caring, humble, loving person you will meet.

On 9/19/22 Connor got sick with Covid.  After a typical bout with covid, he started experiencing severe symptoms of dysautonomia on 9/25/22. 

Some of his symptoms included:

             Weakness

              Balance problems

              Inability to sweat

             Noise/light sensitivity

             Exercise intolerance

             Sleeping problems

             Brain fatigue from mental and emotional exertion

            Constant fight/flight response

             Fast heart rate/heart palpitations



He continued to try and work out, but if he pushed too hard, he would experience extreme exhaustion which would cause a worsening of his condition.

As of today, Connor has been bedridden since 12/24/22. He was diagnosed with “post-viral autonomic neuropathy/long covid.” We decided to share his story through his caring bridge website in hopes of raising awareness of long covid; as well as, letting others know they are not alone if they are going through a similar situation due to covid.

Connor is a fighter, and any love, support or advice is greatly appreciated!

Journal entry by Carey Provan —

The second stellate ganglion block injection went well this past Tuesday.

Unfortunately, Connor is having some side effects from the second injection. Hopefully, they will go away in a few days.

Connor just can't catch a break :(
