ST. LOUIS – The Director of the National Institutes of Health Francis Collins is urging recovered COVID patients who are still experiencing prolonged symptoms to tell their story.
Collins asks that people fill out a survey on the NIH website. He says the information is essential to learning all we can about how the virus leads to such widespread symptoms.
The information can also help researchers develop ways to better treat or prevent the symptoms.
The most common symptoms among so-called “long haulers” are fatigue, shortness of breath, trouble sleeping and “brain fog” or difficulty thinking clearly.
