LONG HAULERS & COVID-19:
There are people who are being called long haulers. These are people who have had the virus or they got sick with the virus four or five months ago early on. They are still sick.
We’re seeing the effects of patients getting multi systemic symptoms and these patients developing very early signs of what we call ME/CFS or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
I want to educate doctors and patients to understand these long-term effects and if we can intervene and prevent the spread early, then we’re going to prevent the long-term damage. If we can’t prevent it, then let’s figure out how to treat the long-term damage. If we’re going to do this, thinking about our kids is going to be of utmost importance.
My biggest concern is the long-term effects. I see this in Lyme disease and other viruses. COVID-19 is starting to act very similarly.
These are people who are relatively healthy, although I suspect that they had underlying immune problems to begin with and now their lives are never going to be the same.
