Trying to Stop Long COVID Before It Even Starts

[DET]

7. I Knew This Would Happen

Anyone who has had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (God, I hate that term) following a serious viral illness knows that long Covid is the new CFS. CFS has never been taken seriously by the medical community and certainly not by the general public. People who have CFS have been told for decades that it’s ‘all in your head’, ‘there’s nothing wrong with you, ‘get over it’, etc. I feel guilty saying this, but I’m thrilled that the prevalence of long Covid has finally forced the Government and health care providers to look for solutions to this devastating condition. Preventative interventions would be great (if that is possible), but curative treatment would be even better.
