Long Covid: Treatment of debilitating fatigue presents major challenge for Irish hospitals

Patients have said the ‘invisible’ symptoms are often the most frustrating as they still look physically healthy.

A consultant at one clinic said 90% of his Long Covid patients are presenting with fatigue, Michelle Hennessy reports.

One patient said he has been unable to return to work more than a year-and-a-half after his initial infection due to symptoms including severe fatigue.

Up to 20% of people who test positive for Covid-19 may experience longer-term symptoms.
