More than 200 symptoms have been reported in those with long COVID. [1]
Light sensitivity. Dizziness when scrolling webpages. Daily headaches. Intense pain. Brain fog. Allergic to “synthetic fabrics”, and detailed cataloguing of more such "symptoms" can be found in [4].
Interestingly, there are cases where people have ended up with long covid, without ever going through short or medium COVID and in fact, no COVID at all.
The NIH reiterates that there is no definition of long COVID researchers can use to identify the disease, nor should insurers, disability agencies, or physicians use the study’s findings to clinically define or rule out long COVID. [3]

- ivraatiems 2y agoI'm aware of all that... I'm not sure what that has to do with what I'm saying?
- richrichie 2y agoThat long covid is most likely a made up thing or a catch-all term for a lot of different things that has nothing to do with covid.
- throwaway81523 2y agoThere are lots of covid infections where the person develops no symptoms but gets organ damage or long covid anyway, if that is what you mean about no COVID. Test positive = you have COVID, even if no symptoms. No symptoms and no test = you might or might not have COVID. It might be possible to detect virus reservoirs in people after the infection itself resolves, though.
