There's research underway to find solutions for long COVID. But until then, people with post-virus symptoms are looking for solidarity.
Sandra Dunn says ever since she recovered from coronavirus she has lost contact with people in her life who do not understand her ongoing struggle with long COVID.Researchers are uncovering signs the condition could last longer than a few monthsAfter receiving her two vaccine doses, Ms Dunn went for a catch-up at Blacksmiths Beach in late October with a friend and her son, who was unknowingly carrying the virus."I get short of breath, I lose my train of thought, I have heart palpitations.
Months after COVID-19 has run its course, patients are reporting debilitating fatigue, breathlessness, and heart palpitations. Ms Dunn is looking to connect with other people in the Hunter region who are also struggling with post-COVID health issues. "I want to set up a support group for people who are genuinely isolated … just for a chat," she said.
