Understand， manage， and treat Long Covid。

Reports suggest that over 100m people around the world are living with Long Covid （more than 1。5m in the UK） yet reliable， clear information and guidance remains scarce。 This book is the definitive guide to understanding， managing and treating the condition。

Written by the world's leading immunologist Professor Danny Altmann and expert patient Gez Medinger， The Long Covid Handbook translates cutting-edge science， patient-led research and practical guidance with clarity。 This book will equip you with expert information and advice on:

- Long Covid's 200 symptoms， which include fatigue， brain fog， breathlessness and more
- Tips for recovery
- Which treatments are most effective and why
- Who is most susceptible to the condition and why
- What we can learn about Long Covid from other chronic illnesses
- The impact on mental health

This is the essential guide for anyone living with the condition， as well as clinicians seeking to better understand this little-understood illness。

As someone who has endured 30 months （so far） of Long Covid this book is nothing short of a godsend。 Whilst obviously it doesn’t have answers to cure LC it does provide evidence that makes sufferers feel less alone。 That is an enormous thing when you have a mostly invisible health condition which literally has taken me from being in work and fairly active for a mid 40s male， to being more or less housebound。 To know that there are others the same as me and to know there are doctors who are looki As someone who has endured 30 months （so far） of Long Covid this book is nothing short of a godsend。 Whilst obviously it doesn’t have answers to cure LC it does provide evidence that makes sufferers feel less alone。 That is an enormous thing when you have a mostly invisible health condition which literally has taken me from being in work and fairly active for a mid 40s male， to being more or less housebound。 To know that there are others the same as me and to know there are doctors who are looking to help us is an uplifting thing。 If you have LC or you have a family member or friend who has LC， I really would recommend this book。 。。。more

I have got a lot of useful information as well as some enjoyment from Gez's video series on Long COVID so when I saw he was co-writing a book on Long COVID I was keen to support it。I was a bit disappointed with the book because its not really the book I wanted or I think is most needed。 I was wanting a book that was kind of a self help guide to managing the condition and instead this book is a very broad overview of the topic。 So managing symptoms is one fairly short chapter rather than being th I have got a lot of useful information as well as some enjoyment from Gez's video series on Long COVID so when I saw he was co-writing a book on Long COVID I was keen to support it。I was a bit disappointed with the book because its not really the book I wanted or I think is most needed。 I was wanting a book that was kind of a self help guide to managing the condition and instead this book is a very broad overview of the topic。 So managing symptoms is one fairly short chapter rather than being the whole focus of the book。On the whole this might be the best book on Long COVID that is available at the moment but it still gives room for better books to come along。It is pretty easy reading for what is quite heavy subject matter and it contains lots of useful information and ideas。As elements of the topic I know a lot about （ who knows I might write my own book some day） it is easy to nit-pick but that is being rather unfair。 On aspects I know almost nothing about （causes of Long COVID） this is pitched at just the right level for me and that chapter was very well done。I think Gez is wrong to focus on MCAS issues where I think a broader approach （ food and chemical intolerances can become more significant post covid and may even develop post covid） - this broader possibility is at least touched on。 This critisism could be levelled at the whole LC community though - MCAS is a much easier and less vague concept to grab hold of with potential treatment potential on the horizon rather than just find stuff that is a problem for you and avoid it。。。。It is good that key areas such as children and Long COVID get its own chapter but in a book of just 250ish pages excluding endnotes all the inclusions mean less areas can be zoomed in on so much。 For instance whilst the coverage of rest gets much more treatment than it usually does， even in books entirely about pacing ， there is still much more that could be said and explored。 There are topics such as employment and benefits that could have merited chapters but again for a book of its size it can only do or cover so much - and those are topics that havent been featured too heavily in his YouTube channel。For people wanting an overview of Long COVID whether to help themselves or just to know more about this book is a great place to start。。。。and when people do want to know more they can I suppose find other sources to learn more。I was able to read the book in a day。 。。。more
