Really pleased to share the results of the #LongCovid study I was part of with the Perspectum team out of Oxford University. Using a specialist new technology this focused on assessing multiple organ damage in 'first wave' patients, infected with #COVID in early 2020 or even 2019 
We were given in-depth haemotological tests, respiratory assessments and most importantly whole organ scans using the new 'MRI' type enhanced scanning equipment. My first test showed #myocarditis, three liver #lesions, reduced #kidney function and multiple organ inflammation
Also in the first year I experienced #TIA, #atrialfibrillation, #septic bursitis, pre-diabetic symptoms, complete loss of taste & smell; hair loss; #polyarthritis joints, abdominal and bone pain plus multiple #infections and skin eruptions Some neuralgia, headaches and brain fog
12 months later, repeat tests showed reduced heart inflammation but increased kidney, #pancreatic and liver issues. Overall I felt a little better but walking was still very painful and extreme #hypertension was causing concern. The Perspectum team saw similar patterns in others
Read the whole report here journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/01… And next Thursday I will be discussing my experience with another 3 year plus survivor, @gezmedinger in my #Spaces special show Thursday 23rd 5pm GMT or 12 noon EST
