Understanding Long COVID
Long COVID is like that uninvited guest who overstays their welcome. Think of Long COVID as a shadow that follows you, impacting your life in ways you didn’t expect. Studies show that about 10% of those who had severe cases experience these persistent symptoms, which can range from fatigue and brain fog to more severe conditions like respiratory issues.
But what causes this prolonged state of discomfort? Emerging studies indicate that the virus may continue to affect the body in subtle ways long after the initial infection. The CDC highlights this variability, emphasizing that each individual’s experience can be markedly different.
