The long covid self-help guide : practical ways to manage symptoms

Summary: The first practical, accessible self-help guide to managing symptoms of long covid. More than 1 million people suffer from long covid in the UK (with 400,000 people suffering symptoms for over a year), and many more globally. Yet there is no clear guidance available to the general public, and lots of misinformation out there. This handbook cuts through the confusing advice. Written by the medical experts working with long covid patients at one of the first specialist clinics set up, it is filled with helpful case studies and was written with the involvement of real long covid sufferers. The focus is on self-management with a simple, consistent message about improving symptoms. Each chapter takes a different issue in turn and offers clear, friendly guidance on key areas such as breathlessness, psychological aspects, brain fog, fatigue, returning to exercise and returning to work.
