vaccinated patients are reporting relief from Long Covid symptoms

Some good news about the vaccine for those who have been suffering debilitating Long Covid symptoms.

From the article below :
"It is possible that the persisting virus in long COVID-19 may be at a low level — not enough to stimulate a potent immune response to clear the virus, but enough to cause symptoms. Activating the immune response therefore is therapeutic in directing viral clearance,"

"Coronavirus 'long haulers' feared they would never recover. Then they got the vaccine"

Re: vaccinated patients are reporting relief from Long Covid symptoms

That is very good news for all of us!
If the vaccine is helping those who have suffered long term with covid, then I assume it is also helping those who have avoided the infection, so far!

Re: vaccinated patients are reporting relief from Long Covid symptoms

Brilliant news.

Wow, that really is such good news! There is light at the end of the tunnel for many LC sufferers at last.

What a strange virus the corona virus is , I think there are many things we have yet to learn about it and some nasty surprises.

I know a number of people with Long covid mostly in their 40's (one is a child of 7 ) but they are too young to have had the vaccination yet. I hope they are able to do so soon and get some relief from the debilitating symptoms.

Do you know what the symptoms of LongCovid are Meg? Just curious to know how these are presenting and diagnosed as such , have they been hospitalised or do people assume that’s what they’re suffering from ?

Re: vaccinated patients are reporting relief from Long Covid symptoms

Hi Zuleika there are a variety of symptoms many similar to ME with extreme fatigue .
Some information here..
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-...s/art-20490351
I understand diagnosis is not easy. a number of GPs/doctors dismissed the symptoms at first.
A young woman I know a teacher in her 30s caught C19 from a pupil last spring. She had all the usual symptoms, recovered from some but the breathlessness and extreme fatigue have continued. She can't walk more than a small distance, just getting dressed and downstairs exhausts her .

A friend of one of my grandchildren , a little boy with asthma had C19 last spring . He has never properly recovered and is in and out of hospital .

I know others with Long Covid through my family.

This is a scary statistic...
Have you heard of HEAL COVID the drug trial which Cambridge University is starting ....

I am interested because the trial includes the anticoagulant Apixaban which I already take and a Doctor in my health support group said some time ago that he though the NOACS (new oral anticoagulants) may offer some help for those with continuing C19 to help prevent blood clots.
