New research from the National Institute for Health Research in the UK, suggests the condition could be due to four different syndromes - the effects of being in intensive care; permanent organ damage; post-viral fatigue and what it calls "long-term Covid", which it describes as a "rollercoaster of symptoms" that move around the body.   Annette Shelford is a former fitness instructor who has chronic fatigue after developing COVID 19 symptoms in March. She describes the changing symptoms she is still experiencing.
