So-called COVID-19 'long-haulers' who believe they had the disease before testing was widely available are complaining of new neurological symptoms including confusion, trouble concentrating and memory loss that persist weeks and even months after their initial sickness.

TORONTO -- A growing number of So-called COVID-19 "long-haulers" who believe they had the disease before testing was widely available are complaining of new neurological symptoms including confusion, trouble concentrating and memory loss that persist weeks and even months after their initial sickness.

But Canadian long-hauler patients like Suzie Golding say getting recognition or help from doctors has been difficult. "A lot of people are having doctors that say to them 'This is just anxiety and we can't help you. There's nothing we can do. You're just anxious,' and really dismissing the fact that… [this] is something that is happening," Goulding said.

"This is something that is ongoing. If these issues are long-term or permanent, we have a very, very large societal and economical problem on our hands," Owen said in an interview with CTV News. "Look at all those pieces of information together and will be able to work out how COVID-19 is affecting cognitive function and whether it's affecting some people more than others," he said.

"This means that many of the complications from the illness, such as lung and other organ failure, may be due to brain dysfunction as opposed to the virus directly attacking these other organs."
