Abstract |
The diagnosis and treatment of long COVID patients is challenging. Our aim is to share lessons learned using a multidisciplinary approach within the Veterans Affairs system. Our long COVID clinic is based in primary care but has imbedded rehabilitation specialists, nutrition, whole health, and different specialists within internal medicine. We conducted an extensive work-up to evaluate the presence of end-organ damage, ongoing inflammation, and dysautonomia. Our treatments are based on the prior experience that the Veterans Affairs system has on chronic fatigue syndrome and gulf war illness.
