Abstract
In the realm of day-to-day family medicine and general healthcare, where each patient's journey commences and concludes, certain enigmatic occurrences exist. These phenomena, while not yet medically explained, inflict considerable suffering and distress. A family physician chronicles the journey initiated by curiosity, one that weaves together diverse fields of study and evolves into translational research.
The pivotal inquiry revolves around comprehending the experiences of individuals whose lives have undergone profound and abrupt alterations, characterized by cognitive challenges and enduring fatigue and pain persisting for months or even years following a Covid infection. To address this question, a research project gradually took shape, with each step contributing to its development. The course of this research, unexpected and groundbreaking, is illuminated in this presentation.
