In North Carolina, there is still a large mass of people suffering from COVID. Not so much from COVID itself but from COVID symptoms, months after the infection. They are called COVID Long Haulers.
COVID Long Haulers are suffering from a wide array of symptoms from shortness of breath to heart palpitations, chronic fatigue and neurological issues. Some have seen specialists like pulmonologists, cardiologists and neurologists for little to no answers and are now looking at hefty medical bills.
Health professionals and scientists are still unsure what causes COVID Long Haulers and how long it affects patients. Due to this many people are seeking support outside the “box” and trying anything and everything to minimize the symptoms and how it affects daily life.
