Women may think they have long Covid when they are actually going through the menopause and may need hormone replacement therapy (HRT), experts believe.
In a recent survey of long Covid users, led by the University of Southampton, the average age of people replying was 46.5 while 82.5 per cent were women.
I expect there to be considerable argument back about this but if the facts fit then…..
I’ll get the popcorn.
There is no such disease as ‘Long CoVid’.
There is ‘Post Viral Syndrome’ – well known – where individuals can experience a range of symptoms after even common infections such as Colds & ‘flu. Symptoms include fatigue, headache, sore throat, aches and pains, swollen glands. We don’t call it Long Coryza or Long Influenza but for a while it was known as Yuppy ‘Flu.
Now it’s got a new name – fashions come, fashions go.
Surely the average age of any adult survey would be in the mid-40s? What we need to know is the distribution of those responses.
