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 live with and heal from Long COVID.
