Fascinating read. I'm glad to see these findings get serious attention by researchers. It was really frustrating getting dismissed by my local physician when sharing symptoms like sugar sensitivity, fatigue, and focus issues. It was like being perpetually tipsy for months. It was a big shock as a knowledge worker to have to relearn how focus. I hope they further study vaccines as well. In my anecdotal case my long covid symptoms resumed, along with additional symptoms like body bruising / bone pain for several weeks. There may be classes of healthy adults that react differently than expected and we can learn how to improve from the evidence.

>In my anecdotal case my long covid symptoms resumed, along with additional symptoms like body bruising / bone pain for several weeks. The term used in Germany for "long-covid like symptoms after vaccination" is "post-vac syndrome". Having seen something similar in English yet.

Meanwhile long Covid sounds more or less like the chronic health problems I've had since ~2014 (which nearly ruined my life). In my case it seems to be autoimmune, so maybe that's part of what's happening with long Covid as well. There are various protocols (mostly dietary) that attempt to help, under names like "Autoimmune Paleo". It all seems under-studied. Maybe now that millions of people are having the same symptoms, there might be some movement on it. That or GSK will come up with a drug that doesn't really help and has a lot of side effects but the medical community will declare the problem solved and move on.
