A new, necessary integrative approach and practical guide to living with all long illness (autoimmune disease, chronic pain, inflammation, COVID-19, and more) , from two UCSF doctorsIn 2020, a surge of long haul COVID-19 patients came to Drs. Jobson and Morgan's clinics and one thing was clear to them: We have seen this before. The pattern was strikingly similar to other long conditions: fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic pain, post‑infectious syndromes, and autoimmune diseases. And that is because long illnesses manifest in similar ways. They follow patterns in the body as the result of inflammation, trauma, and toxic stress.Whether its chronic pain or COVID-19 or any of the myriad conditions that require long-term maintenance, people with long illnesses have long been invalidated by a lack of assistance and care.
