Description

In a few short years, long COVID has established itself as one of our most significant health conditions, estimated to have affected up to 1 million Australians - and that number is rising.Until now, the lack of understanding and information around this condition has meant that people have largely suffered in silence.


Here for the first time is a comprehensive overview of the current state of play on this chronic condition. Drawing on up-to-the-minute research, it includes:


advice on diagnosis: red flags vs red herrings
how to identify and manage symptoms
treatment options, for the short and long-term
tips for staying positive and dealing with uncertainty
case studies from Australians of all ages living with long COVID.


If you, or someone close to you, has experienced ongoing symptoms following a COVID-19 infection, this indispensable book has everything you need to know for your ongoing health and recovery.
