Individuals who had severe disease or prolonged hospitalizations can also have post-traumatic stress disorder.Long Covid is a real phenomenon. From a scientific standpoint, it is a puzzle. We don’t know what causes it or why this specific virus causes it; however, it is not the only virus that can lead to long-term sequelae in a subset of people who get an infection. More recently, we have seen chronic post-infection side effects with the Ebola virus as well.
This post-infection problem is not confined to just viruses. The debate about the cause and appropriate treatment for individuals who suffer from chronic symptoms after Lyme disease has been ongoing for decades. Multiple other infections can lead to long-term consequences after someone has appeared to recover from the acute illness.
Clearly all of these are real phenomena, but the frustrating thing is that we don’t know the cause. On the positive side, the medical establishment is now aware of this problem. Research efforts have kick-started to study these individuals to try to understand the etiology and how they do over time. If we can figure this one out, maybe we can figure out some of the other post-infection syndromes that have baffled us.
Most people are familiar with the challenge of preventing mosquito bites when outdoors on a warm summer evening. Even if you slather on bug juice, somehow a pesky mosquito will find its window of opportunity in a minute patch of skin that is lacking repellant. Think about Covid in the same way – it seeks out the unvaccinated like that mosquito, only the short and long-term consequences may be greater. It will find you – it’s only a matter of time.
If you or someone you know has already been infected with Covid and is having ongoing symptoms or has not returned to their normal state of well-being, consider that you or they may be experiencing long Covid. Ask your doctor about it. Support groups are forming now. Join one. You could share resources, information about clinical trials, or the challenges you are having with others who are having similar experiences.
