             Long Covid SOS is shining a light on what #LongCovid really means. So many people still don’t understand, they know the term but not the reality of the relapses and the daily battles.

             Recently we asked our #community to share their experiences of living with #LongCovid. What they told us was powerful, urgent and impossible to ignore.

             Tokyo researchers studied 105 Long COVID patients and found that those whose immune systems shifted toward making more spike-specific IgG4 antibodies were nearly 4 times more likely to recover. IgG4 class switching predicted clinical improvement.  https://t.co/MDaFIUojiO

             New research has identified a potential biological cause for post-COVID fatigue/muscle fatigue. Scientists found that a molecule called soluble IL-2 receptor (sIL-2R), linked to immune activation, may directly harm mitochondria in muscle cells.

             Researchers studied 163 adults with long COVID and no asthma. At least 75% had small airway dysfunction. Those treated with inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting bronchodilators saw fatigue fall from 96% to 15% and breathlessness from 83% to 18%.  https://t.co/Tvr2ZjlHbG
