Summary
This blog by doctors Clare Rayner and Amali Lokugamage argues that Long Covid rehabilitation needs a wider focus that goes beyond a purely biomedical paradigm to include complementary therapies and methods.
The authors—who have both lived with Long Covid for more than two years—argue that although patients were the first to raise concerns about Long Covid, describe its symptoms and patterns and even research the condition, their narratives and voices are not being included in approaches to treatment. While the biomedical evidence surrounding Long Covid is currently limited, they highlight that there is much valuable lived-experience to be found in patient support and campaign groups, and that patients' knowledge should be drawn on to shape policy and guidance about the condition.
