Page outline[edit source | reply | new]
Long Covid or post-acute covid-19 a term used to describe a group of long term health problems that are found in a significant minority of people who were infected with the coronavirus disease 19 and remain ill after a number of weeks or months.[1][2][3]
Long covid appears to be a multisystem disease, and may occur after antly severity of COVID-19, including after relatively mild cases.[2]
Long-haulers[edit source | reply | new]
A "long-hauler" is someone who became ill with confirmed or suspected coronavirus disease 19, who has not recovered many weeks or months later after first becoming ill.[3]
Symptoms[edit source | reply | new]
- Profound (very severe) fatigue
- Cough
- Breathlessness
- Muscle pain and body aches
- Heavy chest or a feeling of pressure on the chest
Other reported symptoms include:
- Skin rashes
- Heart palpitations
- Fever
- Headache
- Diarrhea
- The sensation of pins and needles[1]
“A very common feature is the relapsing, remitting nature of the illness, where you feel as though you’ve recovered, then it hits you back
Signs and symptoms[edit source | reply | new]
Treatment[edit source | reply | new]
ME/CFS patient groups have raised concerns about the use of graded exercise therapy (GET) in patients with long covid.[4] Graded exercise therapy, which is sometimes incorrectly referred to as activity management involves patients initially reducing their activity levels to a level that prevents regular crashes, and then typically increasing activity by 10% each week regardless of any increased symptoms or worsening illness. Patients are told to ignore deterioration or increased symptoms and "push through" them. Surveys of ME/CFS patients have consistently shown that large numbers of patients deteriorate as a result of graded exercise therapy, and a significant number become severely ill.
