Why Women Face Worse Long COVID

New research reveals that women with long COVID show distinct biological disruptions — including gut inflammation, anemia, and abnormal hormone levels — that may explain their heightened and persistent symptoms. These findings emerged from immune, biomarker, and genetic analyses in people one year after infection.

Long COVID Linked to Surge in POTS Cases

Researchers have found that postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) occurs in almost a third of patients with severe long COVID, making it far more common than in the general population. The study, the largest to date on the subject, showed that middle-aged women were most affected, with symptoms including dizziness, rapid heart rate, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating.

This shows the biological route from the gut to the brain.

Your Gut May Be the Key to Chronic Fatigue, Long COVID

A groundbreaking study using AI has revealed how ME/CFS disrupts critical connections between the immune system, gut microbiome, and metabolism. The new platform, BioMapAI, achieved 90% accuracy in identifying ME/CFS patients based on stool, blood, and symptom data—offering long-overdue validation for millions living with this debilitating illness.

Gut Inflammation Linked to Post-COVID Fatigue

A new study highlights the link between gut health and post-COVID syndrome (PCS), revealing that patients with prior gastrointestinal issues are more likely to experience post-viral fatigue. Researchers analyzed samples from PCS patients and identified key immune and gut-related biomarkers linked to inflammation and intestinal barrier dysfunction.

Long COVID Is Fueling a Mental Health Crisis in Children

A new study reveals that nearly 40% of children with long COVID are experiencing significant symptoms of anxiety or depression, many for the first time. Using validated mental health screening tools, researchers found that 1 in 4 children had new anxiety symptoms and 1 in 7 had new depressive symptoms, despite no prior mental health history.

Long COVID Brain Fog Linked to Inflammation and Stress Markers

A new study comparing long COVID patients with fully recovered individuals has found that those with persistent cognitive symptoms, like brain fog, show higher brain inflammation and reduced capacity to handle stress. The study revealed lower levels of nerve growth factor and elevated inflammatory markers in the long COVID group.

Pregnant Women Face Lower Odds of Long COVID

A large study of over 72,000 pregnant women found that those infected with SARS-CoV-2 during pregnancy were less likely to develop Long COVID than non-pregnant peers. Using data from two national databases, researchers found consistent results: about 16% of pregnant women developed Long COVID symptoms versus 19% of matched non-pregnant women.

Long COVID Impairs Exercise Capacity and Cognition for Years

A study of nearly 1,000 people with post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS) revealed that two-thirds still experienced significant symptoms, including reduced exercise capacity and cognitive performance, two years after infection. Persistent symptom clusters included fatigue, neurocognitive disturbances, and post-exertional malaise, with worse outcomes in individuals with obesity, lower education, or severe initial infections.

Most Teens Recover From Long Covid Within Two Years

A large study tracking young people with long Covid found that 70% of those affected had recovered within two years, though 30% continued to experience symptoms. Researchers analyzed data from over 12,000 participants, defining long Covid as experiencing multiple symptoms like fatigue and headaches alongside functional impairments.

Spike Protein Lingers in Brain, Fuels Long COVID

A new study reveals that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein remains in brain-protective tissues and skull bone marrow for years after infection, potentially driving long COVID's neurological symptoms. Using advanced imaging, researchers discovered elevated spike protein levels in these regions, leading to chronic brain inflammation and increased risks of neurodegenerative conditions.

TENS Nerve Stimulation Ease Long Covid Pain and Fatigue

A new study demonstrates that a wearable Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) device can significantly reduce pain, fatigue, and mobility issues in people with long COVID. Participants using the active TENS device reported 26.1% greater pain relief and improved walking performance compared to a placebo group after four weeks of daily use.
