Living with long COVID in Middle Tennessee
The majority of people who get COVID-19 recover, but 1 in 5 adult Americans have long COVID, according to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention.
More studies are underway to better understand long COVID, but its symptoms include everything from brain fog and shortness of breath to depression and even organ damage. These symptoms can profoundly change someone's life.
In this episode, we talk to two Tennesseans who are living with COVID and medical professionals to better understand what this condition is and available treatment.
But first, host Khalil Ekulona and digital lead Anna Gallegos-Cannon respond to listener feedback and preview future episodes in @Us!
Guests:
Barbara VanMeter-Nivens, living with long COVID
Suzanne Martin, living with long COVID
Dr. Jim Jackson, director of behavioral health and ICU recovery center at the Critical Illness, Brain Dysfunction, and Survivorship Center and a specialist with Vanderbilt's post COVID clinic
Dr. Brent Snader, internal medicine and pediatric doctor at Siloam Health
