For millions with Long Covid and energy-limiting conditions, pacing is survival. While most research focuses on causes and treatments, this book examines the overlooked long of Long Covid and its many temporal disruptions.Drawing on complex realism and thousands of social media posts, the authors reframe pacing as temporal labour: exhausting, invisible work where limits only become visible once crossed. They introduce polyrhythmic biographical disruption, where disruption is not a single event but ongoing, and the uncanny-not-yetness: the eerie limbo of post-exertional malaise.This book advocates for temporal justice, because pacing is always, irreducibly social.
