About this listen

Bloomsbury presents The Long Covid Self-Help Guide by Specialists from The Post-Covid Clinic, Oxford, read by Gavin Osborn.

The first practical, accessible self-help guide to managing symptoms of Long Covid.

More than 1 million people suffer from Long Covid in the UK (with 400,000 people suffering symptoms for over a year), and many more globally. Yet there is no clear guidance available to the general public, and lots of misinformation out there.

This handbook cuts through the confusing advice. Written by the medical experts working with Long Covid patients at one of the first specialist clinics set up, it is filled with helpful case studies and was written with the involvement of real Long Covid sufferers. The focus is on self-management with a simple, consistent message about improving symptoms.

Each chapter takes a different issue in turn and offers clear, friendly guidance on key areas such as breathlessness, psychological aspects, brain fog, fatigue, returning to exercise and returning to work.

Re medical info: There wasn’t a lot of new things in here which I hadn’t already heard from my Long COVID doctor, the Physio Therapists, my Therapist or the Nutrition Specialist. But.. it helped me hugely verifying and confirming my symptoms, my feelings and how to go about this awful illness !! I’m so glad I found this book. I also would recommend it to people who have a loved one suffering from long COVID ❤️‍🩹

Can’t recommend this book highly enough
