There are a number of single consultants or dptmts / clinics specialised in chronic pain / pain management in all the main hospitals in SE London as far as I know where the issue of fatigue is usually thoroughly examined in relation to various conditions, but I do not know if they have been accepting also referrals for long covid patients. For what it is worth, I would check with your GP.

Chronic post viral syndromes are very common - typically after e.g. glandular fever and other viral infections (flu?) in some people. They have been given many names - ME for instance - and the very severe Guillain-Barr? syndrome, but they appear to have very many commonalties - particular muscular weakness and fatigue, as well as some (e.g. anosmia) which may be initial viral infection specific. I would not over-worry about finding a group which is just Covid-19 (long Covid) specific - most of these groups will be helpful at suggesting remedies or alleviations (and support) for many common symptoms.

thank you for your thoughts - I wasn't clear enough in my original message but it's support around the chronic fatigue element of long covid that I'm looking for.

      Niko the Plumber.

      By Natasha77 · Posted

      Niko was recommended to me through a group chat for my road, where everybody raves about him. I soon realised why as he did an amazing job installing an outdoor tap for me. I needed it done quickly but had a hectic schedule, and Niko did everything possible to accommodate this, bringing the parts and working late on a Friday, having worked out the best solution for my maze of pipes. The tap looks great and works amazingly with good pressure. He made minimal mess and cleaned everything up, and charged me a very competitive price. On top of that he is delightful to chat to and willing to give advice on other matters. He’s a lovely man and will be my go-to for any issues in the future! Recommend to anybody in the Dulwich/ Peckham/Camberwell area!!

      We've used Aria a couple of times - this time a tap that was causing water hammer elsewhere in the house, he replaced it and checked all was well. He was prompt, quick in his work, and charged what he said he would. Will use him again.

      Hi I found a phone on the pavement near the bus stop half way up lordship lane opposite M&S and have handed into one of the estate agents there (KFH). Please call in there if you have lost it.
