Long Haul COVID - Dr. Susan L. Marra, MS, ND

Long haul COVID has been found to affect many patients who get infected with SARS CoV-2. Symptoms generally include:

Fatigue
Shortness of breath
Cough
Fever
Headache
Muscle aches
Loss of smell
Rapid heartbeat
Chest pain
Cognition difficulties

While it is clear that patients with certain risk factors such as diabetes, smoking, obesity, etc., are at greater risk for long haul COVID. There also appears to be a genetic component to long haul covid.

Long COVID seems to be similar to chronic Lyme Disease in that severe inflammation seems to be at the root of the problem. Poor detoxification capabilities probably also contribute to long haul COVID.

Additionally, COVID can cause reactivation of Epstein Barr virus, which responds well to Valtrex.

Nutraceuticals such as vitamin D, melatonin, quercetin, turmeric, resveratrol, vitamin A, fish oil, and a host of antiviral herbs can help you heal from this. Please call my office to schedule an appointment to review your medical history. We will work together to get your health back on track.
