Case Report on a Long Covid Patient

After an exhausting but inspiring peer review process, my case report on a Long Covid patient was published in the International Journal of Osteopathic Medicine last week. For a limited time, until 5 August 2022, you can read it for free by using this link, after which it will vanish behind a paywall.

It’s not really intended for the non-technical reader but I hope it will contribute to the wider scientific understanding of Long Covid, in all its complexity and individuality. Nobody fully understands what causes Long Covid, who is at risk, how it works or how best to treat it. I wanted to add my thoughts on it in case it is useful to other researchers or patients.

New page on Long Covid

I’ve been meaning to write a page about what causes Long Covid symptoms for a while. Over the last couple of years I’ve done a lot of research and given lectures on the pathophysiology of Covid-19. I’ve also treated a number of Long Covid patients and written a case report on one of them for our professional journal (to be published soon, hopefully).

Long Covid is a mysterious condition and no-one fully understands what causes it, how it works and how to help sufferers to improve their health. There is a bewildering amount of information on the internet so I thought it would be good to write a summary to help people understand Long Covid. You can find it here or via the ‘More about..’ menu on the home page. I hope you find the explanations, tips and self-help measures useful!
