Long Covid SOS

Teal text on a charcoal textured background reads “March is Long Covid Awareness Month. Year 6. We can’t wait any longer.” Small lifering icons replace the letter O’s. The Long Covid SOS logo appears in the bottom left corner in white with a red lifering in SOS.

March is Long Covid Awareness Month.

Millions still live with life-altering symptoms & remain without consistent care.
Research funding does not reflect the scale of the crisis

We are calling for sustained investment into research & policy change

We will bust these common myths and these Myth-busting assets will be shared across our social media throughout March for #LongCovidAwarenessMonth
Please share as widely as possible, we need to get the correct messaging out there. #LongCovidRuinsLives

Myth 1: Being young and fit protects you from #LongCovid
Fact: WRONG ! all ages & fitness levels can be affected including kids & athletes - often after mild or asymptomatic infection. There’s no way to predict who will be affected or how serious that it may be
Many are still ill after 6 years!

Myth-busting #LongCovid with WHO Europe

We’re proud to support WHO Europe on this vital project tackling myths and misinformation about Long Covid, 6 years on from COVID-19 being declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.

With Long Covid Awareness Day on 15th March, we have two months to raise awareness, share lived experience, and call for understanding and better care.

It’s not just the heart. It’s the heartbreak.
Long Covid: Every heartbeat counts.

#longcovidawarenessday #longcovidheartbeats #longcovid

An image of a broken painting of a red heart on a dark grey textured wall. On the heart it says in handwritten text “Long Covid can break your heart” and the Long Covid SOS logo in black Underneath white type says “It’s not just the physical impact a Covid infection can have on cardiovascular health - it’s the added emotional toll for those of us living with Long Covid, our families, and the people who care for us. ITS NOT JUST THE HEART ITS THE HEARTBREAK #LongCovidAwarenessDay 15/03/26”

#LongCovid can break your heart; both physically and emotionally.

Not only through its impact on the cardiovascular system, but through the strain of living with an unpredictable, poorly understood illness, and the toll it takes on relationships, identity, and daily life.

"The ICB told councillors that "most patients" recover within four to nine months. But a recent review in The Lancet, external said 71% of people with the condition had symptoms for more than a year."

Well the ICB is lying then.

Closure of Mid Essex long Covid service criticised by charities A charity says the condition is

Dr Lucy Moore, chairperson of the Long Covid SOS charity, said: "If the motivation behind the closure is an ideology that long Covid is a thing of the past or over in months, it sets a concerning precedent.

Metformin at the time of Covid-19 infection and risk of Long Covid: A Target Trial Emulation Study Background: Our objective was to evaluate metformin prescribed at the time of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the risk of developing Long Covid (LC) in electronic health record data. Methods: We conducted a n...

🧵New observational study:
Starting metformin within 6 days of COVID was linked to half the long COVID risk compared with patients given other meds (fluvoxamine, fluticasone, ivermectin, montelukast): 4.0% vs 8.5% (aRR 0.47). Small study, but aligns with #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky #IDSky #SciSky 1/2

We stand in solidarity with our Dutch friends at today’s PAIS protest in Den Haag. We ask our friends in the Dutch #LongCovid and #mecfs communities to support this powerful call for recognition and action

Agreed.
