New COVID-19 Long-Haulers Study , Is Released by Mayo Clinic.
According to the study released on May 12, 80% of those suffering from "Post-COVID Syndrome" experience significant fatigue.
59% suffer from sustained respiratory issues.
In addition, 45% of patients reported having some form of difficulty with their thinking.
This is commonly referred to as the brain fog, Dr. Greg Vanichkachorn, Mayo Clinic, via KARE 11.
And we did not expect to hear the much about this.
This is a condition that affects every part of life – it's not just a condition that's about shortness of breath and fatigue, Dr. Greg Vanichkachorn, Mayo Clinic, via KARE 11.
Of those who participated in the study, more than a third could no longer do simple activities, such as taking a shower, the way they could before.
"Post-COVID Syndrome" can affect anyone who has had the disease, even those whose cases were mild.
The reasons for "Post-COVID Syndrome" are unknown.
There are a lot of people out there who have COVID-19 infections and they were able to bounce back right after two weeks.
It’s difficult to understand why another person may not be following that same recovery, Dr. Greg Vanichkachorn, Mayo Clinic, via KARE 11
