Welcome to this week's Long Covid newsletter! In this edition, we highlight crucial articles and research that provide insights into the ongoing battle against long COVID. Key topics include intensified efforts to treat long COVID in kids and teens, the struggle for disability benefits by long COVID sufferers, the potential of lower long COVID risk from second infections, and a promising trial investigating a treatment for fatigue relief in people with long COVID.
The acid-base article contains a great explanation of the muscle fatigue in Long Covid. I found it fascinating. Thanks for all the research articles. Great newsletter!
PASC in my case started in April 2020 and had been slowly, glacially, retreating ever since. Now in the third year I am almost free of all discernible damage. But the hurricane did leave some wreckage behind- scarred lungs, persistent brain fog, heart damages. But overall I'd say that my case, as extreme as it was in 2020 and 2021, has steadily abated and there's hope for long term sufferers. I don't think anyone escapes unscathed from having had PASC, but things could have been much, much worse.
