According to NCBI, post-viral pain syndrome is a complex condition that occurs after recovering from a viral infection. It can cause persistent pain, fatigue, muscle and joint pain, nerve pain, cognitive difficulties, and sleep disturbances.

By sharing her experience, Violet highlights the challenges of this often misunderstood condition and underscores the importance of public awareness and support.

In addition to her passion for public health, Violet celebrated a significant milestone by graduating from Marlborough High School. This momentous occasion left her mother, Jennifer, overwhelmed with emotion.
