There’s an array of disabling symptoms including a “blowtorch-like” nerve pain, loss of sensation in the limbs, spine inflammation, brain fog and a soaring heart rate that follows 10-40% of COVID Survivors, even months they are supposed to have been recovered from COVID-19. They are called Long Haulers.
Doctors and scientists, still to do not know why some COVID patients become Long Haulers.
There are three possibilities that professionals are believing to make people long-haulers.
One is an autoimmune reaction that persists longer than the actual virus. Another possibility is that COVID-19 leaves “viral particles” in the body that create inflammation. This may also explain why some still stay positive long after the infection has been cleared.
The final possibility is that the virus be hidden in tissue of the body, allowing the virus to emerge weeks or even months after the initial infection.
All these possibilities need further research to get down to the results of what leads as well as how to treat these long-term symptoms.
