The final stretch of a marathon is often the most difficult. Started detailed Long Covid research in February 2022 and presumed it would be completed by now. In fact, Long Covid has been more difficult than anticipated.
Our first Long Covid paper has been delayed on a number of occasions because of new published information. It is time to share what we already understand, accepting that there is more to be done.
First major survey of doctors with Long Covid reveals debilitating impact on health, life and work (Press Release from British Medical Association)
“Life is absolutely miserable. Every day is a struggle. I wake up exhausted, the insomnia and night terrors are horrendous as I live through my worst fears every night. Any activity such as eating meals, washing etc will mean I have to go to bed for a few hours. I am unable to look after myself or my child, exercise or maintain social relationships. I have no financial security. Long COVID has totally destroyed my life.” - consultant
The mandate is to finish what has been started, even when the going is tough.
