A long-time woman on COVID said her symptoms cleared up 36 hours after she received her second dose of COVID-19 vaccine, according to The Washington Post
Arianna Eisenberg, 34, said she experienced muscle pain, insomnia, fatigue, and brain fog for eight months after falling ill. These symptoms are typical of what has come to be known as “long COVID”.
But 36 hours after she received a second dose of COVID-19 vaccine, her symptoms were gone, the Post reported.
Eisenberg’s story is one of many that describe a similar effect.
The Philadelphia Inquirer and the Huffington Post also reported on people for whom long COVID symptoms improved after vaccination.
Daniel Griffith, an infectious disease physician and researcher at Columbia University, told The Verge on March 2 that about a third of his tall COVID patients reported feeling better after the vaccine.
In a YouTube video, Gez Medinger, a science journalist reporting on long COVID, conducted a survey of 473 long-haul flights among support groups on Facebook, The Verge reported, about a third of whom saw their symptoms improve after vaccination.
A small study from the British University of Bristol, which has not been peer-reviewed, looked at the administration of vaccines to people with long-term COVID-19 symptoms, according to the Washington Post report.
The scientists gave the vaccine to 44 COVID long-range aircraft and compared their response to a group of long-range aircraft that did not receive the vaccine.
They reported that those who received the vaccine showed “small overall improvement in long-term COVID symptoms.”
However, the authors said this may have to do with the placebo effect.
This is just one of the many puzzling reports surrounding COVID.
On March 3, Kaiser Health News reported that a 15-year-old dancer developed COPD, a disease that tends to affect older people, after contracting COVID-19 last summer.
As reported by Insider’s Aria Bendix, scientists also cannot explain why most people who develop long-term COVID are women, although some scientists believe this is because women tend to build stronger immune responses than men.
Recovery clinics for long-term COVID patients have opened, Insider’s Sophia Ankel reported.
But the situation is still not well understood. The US National Institutes of Health has been awarded more than $ 1 ($ 1) billion from Congress to investigate long-term COVID.
