A government-funded health service says it's seeing a surge in the number of Australians looking for help with long COVID, as a health economist urges governments to set up surveys to keep closer tabs on the illness.

Melbourne teacher Caroline Hewson's household was hit by COVID-19 in January, when Victoria saw a massive spike in Omicron infections.But there is no national data tracking the prevalence of the conditionWhile her sons and husband recovered reasonably well, Ms Hewson did not.Debilitating fatigue, breathlessness and a brain fog descended and remained for months, causing major disruption for the usually active 42-year-old.

"And I'd just be breathing feeling like I'm drowning and then I'd need a half-hour lie down from the exertion." But during months of long COVID, her voice lost all its power, and she was struggling to parent, let alone work. As someone used to running not only her life but those of her young children, Ms Hewson found the extended illness difficult to accept, despite the support of those around her."What do I keep saying? 'Yeah I feel like crap' ... I started lying and saying 'yeah feeling OK' and pushing through work ... because I was so sick of being sick and just sick of it all."

If they turned off the TV ?

Long covid is usually a vaccine injury.

Aah, tell them what they reallg have, vaccine injuries.

Apparently it’s a ‘Myth’ just a cold hanging around.🤭

Every illness or sickness has long term effects on people, it's just not Covid, just because it affects more people it becomes an issue. After a while you learn to live with issues that happened over the years. No one said hey let's help that guy over there, so why care now!

And you're one of the worst offenders when it comes to COVID-19 reporting . 👎

I suggest a study looking to establish a correlation between 'long covid' and protection by the 'dark magic' injections.

Every hypochondriac blocking our health system up again with these bullshit fkn lies

Tackle the flue to and what about cancer

Have you asked the Cafe owners what we should think about this?

Of course not. We're all pretending it's over. Numbers would destroy that fantasy.

Funny those “long Covid” issues align with side effects listed on Pfizers documents

This ‘Long COVID’ seems to be a pet issue for the ABC. No one else so much as mentions it. Is it just a way to keep everyone afraid?

I'm amazed that there still so many brain dead people that don't want to get Vaccinated. I know that drugs affect the brain,.140 Unvaxinated people died in the last week.

Long covid is the jab side affects. Stop getting jabbed = no long covid.

I had short covid. The secret is: 1) not getting the jab

Same happened for vaccine side effects.

Same happen for vaccine side effects.

COVID-19 shots for babies and toddlers approved by US medical regulatorPfizer and Moderna have produced vaccines for children as young as six months. Moderna next plans to study its shots for babies as young as three months. This is disgrace, there is no way in hell would give a covid jab to my baby! Gone way beyond now!! This is not going to end well. But at least we can count on the mainstream media to NEVER report on any adverse reactions or deaths these injections cause.
