Managing COVID Long Haulers

After contracting COVID-19 people experience both physical and psychological effects. Doctors are now working on a multifaceted approach to treat the long term effects of COVID-19. Currently there is no formal diagnosis of long COVID because symptoms are variable, ranging and associated with varying degrees of autonomic dysfunction. Thus there is limited evidence on how to treat common COVID-19 symptoms. Management of persistent symptoms require multidisciplinary input and primary care.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment Likely to Help COVID-19 Long-Haulers

Patients who have recovered from COVID-19 but still continue to experience symptoms after two weeks are now known as "long-haulers." These symptoms include persistent fatigue, shortness of breath, brain fog, migraines, and more. Some patients have even shown permanent lung damage. Doctors still don't know very much about the syndrome, but research has begun on how to treat certain symptoms. One patient, Stephanie Gaboury, has seen great results from hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which she received at Healing with Hyperbarics in North Dakota. The therapies are a slow, consistent protocol that increases the levels of oxygen going into the bloodstream. It's thought that the oxygen helps cells to get rid of inflammation in the way it's normally supposed to, according to Dr. Daphne Denham. Gabour...

U.S. Sees Several Clinics Dedicated Solely to Post-Covid 19 Care

Over a dozen new medical clinics have recently opened up around the U.S., and they're likely to keep appearing. These clinics are dedicated solely to understanding, treating, and validating patients who are suffering from the after-effects of COVID-19. Known as Covid "long-haulers," these patients continue to struggle with Covid-related symptoms for weeks -- and even months -- after they've recovered from the initial virus. New York City's Catherine Busa -- a 54-year-old school secretary -- is one such long-hauler. Busa caught the novel coronavirus back in March, but she still continues to experience strange pain, changes in her sense of smell and taste, and a deep depression. Having dealt with these issues for nearly eight months, Busa was happy to visit the clinic at Jamaica Hospital...
