Long COVID is not psychosomatic. It is a complex, multisystem condition with physical causes documented across growing bodies of research. Preventing COVID-19 infections remains one of the most effective ways to reduce long-term harm. Shared from the WHN Voices section — (...)

Graphic from WHN (whn.global). Background shows two black-and-white brain scan images at the top. A white banner reads: “This post is adapted from a Voices submission on the WHN website, authored by an individual drawing on personal experience and research.” Main text on a yellow panel over a teal background says: “Long COVID is not ‘all in your head’.” Below: “Long COVID is a complex, chronic illness with real, measurable physical effects. Yet millions of people are still told their symptoms are caused by stress, anxiety, or mindset — not disease.” Footer text: “The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.”

WHN graphic (whn.global) on a white background with a large yellow highlighted headline: “Research increasingly links Long COVID to physical mechanisms, including:” Bullet list: “viral persistence”; “immune and autoimmune dysfunction”; “nervous system injury”; “mitochondrial damage”; “endocrine disruption”; “vascular injury and microclotting”. Bold text below: “This is not psychosomatic illness. It is a biological condition affecting multiple systems in the body.” At the bottom are two images: a close-up illustration/photo of mitochondria on the left and a human neck/throat image with the thyroid area highlighted on the right. Footer text: “The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.”

WHN graphic (whn.global) with a solid yellow background and large headline: “Preventing COVID-19 reduces the risk of Long COVID.” Bold paragraph: “Long COVID arises from SARS-CoV-2 infection. Reducing exposure to the virus is therefore a primary prevention strategy.” Next paragraph: “Evidence-based measures — including clean indoor air, respiratory protection, testing, and staying home when sick — lower transmission risk and reduce the likelihood of long-term health impacts.” Final line: “Preventing infection protects both individual and population health.” Footer text: “The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.”

Are you a doctor who is living with Long Covid and working in the NHS? If so, the University of Leicester would like to hear your experience of working whilst living with Long Covid.

Last week I had a fantastic opportunity to learn about reflexivity and participatory approaches in qualitative health research at the @eshms.bsky.social Qualitative Workshop for Early Career Scholars at the University of Turin, Italy!

A day that's mainly taken me away from my own PhD research but was fascinating to talk about my experience of the strongyloides parasite with students at @uniofmanchester.bsky.social and then hearing about PhD students' research about strongyloides and parasites at the University of Leicester! 🦠
