The Long Covid In Scotland study found effects were more likely following a severe Covid infectionThe 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 study, set up in May 2021, found those who were vaccinated before becoming unwell appeared to be protected from some long-term symptoms.
Jayne Gemmell, 55, from Cairneyhill in Fife, contracted Covid in March 2020 and is still living with the effects. She already had ME and fibromyalgia but was able to work full-time. "I took some time off work expecting that I might need a few days or a week and actually never, ever went back to work."She added: "I couldn't really speak, I could only say one syllable and I was gasping for breath."
The Glasgow University research found that 6% of people felt they had not recovered at all, while 42% reported feeling only partially recovered between six and 18 months following infection.
