ProRehab on WEHT Eyewitness News Offering Help for COVID Long Haulers
Physical therapy group offering help for COVID “long haulers”
NEWBURGH, Ind. (WEHT)- Testing positive for COVID-19 can be scary enough, but for the thousands of COVID “long haulers,” symptoms ranging from brain fog to cardiac problems have lingered for weeks, months, and even up to a year.
Nurse practitioner Brittney Phipps says she knows people who still aren’t feeling like themselves six months after their infection, adding the chronic condition wears on people mentally. Phipps says “you just want to get better and some of these things you’re just never going get past. You’re just going to have to deal with them long-term.”
For providers like Phipps, the uncertainty of what “long haul COVID” is and why it only affects certain people has been frustrating. She says she wants to be able to give advice and reassurance to her patients but they simply don’t have the answers.
