Tara Lamont: Seeing through the fog of Long covid (17 March 2021)

Summary

A recent NIHR report sets out the state of knowledge on Long Covid, focussing on recent published research framed around questions of the nature and causes of Long Covid and approaches to treatment. Symptoms might include, but not be limited to brain fog, anxiety, breathlessness, fatigue, muscle pain, palpitations and chest heaviness. We still know very little about the clusters and patterns of these symptoms and what this might mean for ongoing treatment and monitoring. In this article, Tara Lamont emphasises the importance of people with Long Covid being involved in these studies pushing these issues to the forefront.
