Scientifically based and emotionally charged, this book demystifies the new epidemic, called 'Long Haulers Syndrome' in America and 'Long Covid' globally. Motivated by the suffering of his own family and friends, investigative journalist Michael Bowker set out to find the truth behind this brutal sequel to COVID-19 that is striking tens of millions of people in the US and worldwide. Bowker conducted exclusive interviews with post-COVID experts from Mount Sinai, Mayo Clinic, the NIH, Johns Hopkins, Stanford University and medical centers worldwide. They unveil the mysteries of the disease and prove the often-debilitating symptoms are biologically based, not psychosomatic. Also included is a look at the research into treatments and cures, patient stories and a review of symptoms and their causes, and a look at the epidemic worldwide. The book is full of profound affirmation and hope for patients.

How survivors of the Covid-19 pandemic battling long-term disabling conditions are fighting for recognition and research—and helping to transform healthcare for many overlooked diseases. To the world’s public health authorities, Covid-19 would be either a deadly disease for some or a simple respiratory illness for most, its symptoms clearing up in just a matter of weeks. But then tens of millions around the world got sick and stayed sick. With scientists and doctors caught off guard, these Long Covid patients often found solace only with one another, organizing support groups across oceans and continents while ill in bed. In The Long Haul, CNN journalist Ryan Prior weaves his own life, the stories of activist patients, and the latest science into a captivating tale of regular people crying out for care that actually works. What Covid “long haulers” found was that their new illness was not so new. In fact, it resembled other post-viral syndromes: difficult to treat and neglected by science. In riveting and accessible prose, Prior follows an innovative band of patients who took matters into their own hands and researched the disease themselves, thereby flipping the script and illustrating a new paradigm for research. In these unprecedented times, the CDC and the WHO came to them. As Covid continues to circulate, its long-term effects could grow as well, weighing on the healthcare system for decades to come. But, as Prior shows, getting Long Covid treatments right could help revolutionize care for all complex and chronic illnesses.
