Understanding Long COVID
Long COVID is like that uninvited guest who overstays their welcome. It’s a condition that can haunt you long after recovering from the initial COVID-19 infection. 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? Some researchers point to the idea that remnants of the virus might linger in the body, causing ongoing symptoms. The CDC highlights this variability, emphasizing that each individual’s experience can be markedly different.
