A woman who has had COVID for a long time said her symptoms disappeared 36 hours after receiving the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, according to The Washington Post.
Arianna Eisenberg, 34, said she experienced muscle pain, insomnia, fatigue, and brain fog for eight months after becoming ill. These symptoms are similar to what is known as “COVID long”.
But 36 hours after receiving the second dose of COVID-19 vaccine, her symptoms were gone, the Post recitation.
Eisenberg’s story is one of several that describes a similar influence.
The Philadelphia Researcher and the Huffington Post also reported people who developed COVID symptoms long after receiving the vaccine.
Daniel Griffith, an infectious diseases clinician and researcher at Columbia University, told the Verge on March 2 that about a third of his long-term COVID patients reported feeling better after the vaccination.
In a YouTube video, Gez Medinger, a long-time COVID-based science journalist, surveyed 473 longtime hackers among Facebook support groups, The Verge reported, and about a third of them saw their symptoms after immunization.
One small study from Bristol University in the UK, which was not peer-reviewed, looked at vaccinating people with COVID-19 long-term symptoms, each Washington Post report.
The scientists vaccinated 44 long-acting COVID carriers, and compared their response to a group of long-term carriers who did not receive the vaccine.
They said those who received the vaccine had “a small overall improvement in prolonged COVID symptoms”.
However, the authors stated that this may be due to the placebo effect.
This is just one of a series of reports surrounding COVID at length.
On March 3, Kaiser Health News reported that a 15-year-old dancer developed COPD, a disease commonly seen in the elderly, after being diagnosed with COVID-19 last summer.
As reported by Aria Bendix at Insider, scientists also cannot explain why most people who develop COVID are long overdue women, although some scientists believe that this may be because women tend to have stronger immune responses than men.
Rehabilitation clinics for long-term COVID patients have been opening, said Sophia Ankel of Insider.
But the situation is not yet well understood. More than $ US1 ($ 1) billion was donated to the U.S. National Institutes of Health by Congress to study long-term COVID.
