Description

For people living with Long COVID, navigating the uncharted territory of this new chronic illness can be challenging. With over two hundred unique symptoms, and with doctors continuing to work toward a cure, people experiencing Long COVID are often left with more questions than answers.

A support group in book form, The Long COVID Survival Guide is here to help. Twenty contributors—from award-winning journalists, neuroscientists, and patient-researchers to corporate strategists, activists, and artists—share their stories and insight on topics including:

getting diagnosed
finding a caregiver
confronting medical racism and gaslighting
navigating employment issues
dealing with fatigue and brain fog
caring for your mental health, and more.

This vital resource provides the answers and reassurance you need to take care of yourself and prepare for what comes next.
