Researchers used electronic health record data from January 2020 to March 2021 in the Select Medical network of outpatient clinics. The study included patients from 36 states and the District of Columbia., those with COVID-19 symptoms lasting beyond 4 weeks were 2.3 times more likely to report pain, 1.8 times more likely to report worse physical health, and 1.6 times more likely to report difficulty with physical activities.
The researchers suggest services tailored to the unique physical and mental health rehabilitation needs of the post-COVID-19 patient population could be warranted. From the very beginning, patients have reported significant difficulties with physical ability, endurance, and daily function. He said."Unfortunately, these functional deficits were often overlooked with the presence of other symptoms such as shortness of breath and fever."
I’d like to know if anyone has made the connection between the long haulers and Fibromyalgia/CFS ? Every time I read what they’re going through (which is awful) I can’t help comparing to my own experience over 40 years with Fibro 😢 Long Covid
Why weren't they treated earlier. in the virus? It could have been done. Shameful.
You’re just a ray of sunshine, aren’t you? 😞
