Abstract
Long Covid is a debilitating condition that has been well-documented over the past 4 years and shares many similarities with other post-viral chronic illnesses. Despite this, clinicians are not confident in recognising the signs of Long Covid, or effectively managing the symptoms of their patients. This paper presents a single patient case report from a biomedical researcher who has had Long Covid for 2 years; it is written in relatively plain language to be accessible to both patients and clinicians across multiple specialities. The author has had the ability and expertise to keep up with the Long Covid research literature, and from that has cobbled together a management strategy that has alleviated her own symptoms, and those of other people with whom she has shared her protocol. The author’s experience of developing and managing her Long Covid is presented here, in the hopes that it may be of assistance to clinicians in identifying and managing Long Covid in their own patients.
