I hope this study finds answers and treatments to help recovery.
One in 20 people suffer long-term effects after Covid, a study has found.
The Long Covid in Scotland study, led by the University of Glasgow, found that effects were more likely to occur after severe infections requiring hospitalisation.
The research showed older women from deprived communities were most at risk.
The study, set up in May 2021, found those who were vaccinated before becoming unwell appeared to be protected from some long-term symptoms.
The most reported symptoms included breathlessness, chest pain, palpitations, and confusion or "brain fog".

Symptoms could range from mild to moderate - but having long-term effects might not necessarily result in a Long Covid diagnosis.
Long Covid was more likely in those with pre-existing physical and mental health problems, such as a respiratory disease or depression.
