Dr. Glenn Good, an epidemiologist at the University of California, San Francisco, was one of the first to study the long-term effects of COVID-19. Since 2021, he has been publishing, teaching, and conducting research on this complex phenomenon, which in some patients persists long after the initial infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But three years later, he is no longer just a researcher, but also a patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For this expert, the disease has become an invisible prison: fewer precious hours in the day, more room for surprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the body says enough<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chronic COVID-19 can manifest itself in many ways, but the most common symptom is chronic fatigue. This extreme tiredness goes beyond simple weakness. Dr. Cohen describes it as profound exhaustion… even after a good night’s sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add to this dizziness, persistent disorientation, memory or language problems\u2026 every task becomes a challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to a Yale University study, about half of people with long-term COVID-19 also meet the criteria for chronic fatigue syndrome, an understudied and often overlooked condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Impact on social and professional life<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Long-term COVID impacts not only health, but also career, social relationships, and emotional well-being. Dr. Cohen, like one in ten people affected in the United States, has had to drastically reduce his professional activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many patients are struggling with loss of income, medical bills, and loneliness. Some must choose between paying rent and seeing a doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, scientific research is stagnant, hampered by growing public disinterest and declining funding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
