About this listen
Bloomsbury presents The Long Covid Self-Help Guide by Specialists from The Post-Covid Clinic, Oxford, read by Gavin Osborn.
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.

Story
Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, the shocking mortality figures obscured the fact that death is not the only adverse outcome of the virus. Today, as many as 30 percent of COVID-19 survivors still experience symptoms long after their acute illness has passed, with cognitive and mental health problems especially prominent. For long haulers, this struggle with Long COVID has irrevocably changed their lives. In Clearing the Fog, neuropsychologist Dr. James C. Jackson offers people suffering from Long COVID and their families a roadmap to help them manage their “new normal.”

Accurate information
As a long hauler, I felt validated after listening to this book. The information is very accurate and precise, short, and to the point. I wish they had elaborated on the “other symptoms “ more as that is the majority of what we’re all dealing with. Nicely done! I definitely recommend this book.
