Does the ONS have newer data than when they stopped the Long COVID arm of the COVID-19 Infection Survey?

I don't see in your thread any discussion of the use of poorly studied and possibly dangerous off-label medications which is occurring. (I have an axe to grind there.) Maybe there are wise words in the paper.
Yeah I guess it's like vaccines. A few people react badly, for most others it's good.
But vaccines are validated extensively before release for just that reason. LDN has not been.
For example, starting dose. The starting dose my wife was prescibed hit her body like a bomb
Wife did see slightly improved energy, pain, but the insomnia, anxiety much more than outweighed. ME/CFS patients are fragile!

Experienced two: one asymptomatic, the other acute URI 36 hours.
So a possible onset for neural condition for 2 more years?
Am I reading that 3 years post infection risk reduces or is unstudied? Ah, I forget C-19 is only 5 years old.
We also know that each infection *increases* risk in a cumulative manner.

Hunching < great.
False positives are extremely rare. False negatives are the major issue
Early in infection RATs are only about 47% accurateβthey miss 53% of cases
But later in infection they are more accurate.
As long as you are testing positive on RATs you are infectious
I know there are many struggling worse than me. I had a medical alert service dog, whom I then trained for mobility work. So I do ok.
I only spoke up because yes, this can last for years.
I had a vertigo issue and got a physical therapy treatment called the Epley Maneuver that fixed it. PTist can evaluate if its appropriate. Might be worth a try.
Get well soon, if it's not too much to ask, Mr Bullock: a massive adornment to our social media.
Re the socio-economic effects, are the data cross-sectional? If so, is there evidence that deprivation causes high long (a) covid rates (as your wording tends to imply) vs (b) long covid causing unemployment (consistent w your data) & thus higher rate of deprivation?
Other groups have also found βthe transfer of IgG from three subgroups of LC patients recapitulated key symptoms in miceβ

βdemonstrate that transfer of IgG from Long COVID patients to mice replicates disease symptomsβ

I'm facing long Covid right now and need as much information as I can get ..

Iβm one of the lucky ones as I am back to work fully but do have rest symptoms still after almost 2 years.
Coming up to 3 years of issues from shingles. I have every sympathy with LC folk.
