The ME-CFS community has been really helpful in learning how to manage long COVID. There is a wonderful app called Visible, which has been developed by long COVID patients in Silicon Valley. Many of the clinical trials underway are not just for medicines and the traditional sense of the word.
In this episode from March 2023, Ian Sample hears from Scotland’s Astronomer Royal, Prof Catherine Heymans, about her experience of long Covid and how it has affected her life. He also speaks to Prof Danny Altmann, an immunologist at Imperial College London, about the scientific understanding of the condition, and whether we’re any closer to a treatment.
