Tremors and "internal vibrations": Long Covid patients are reporting Parkinson's-like symptoms - Salon

A new study of long Covid patients is shedding light on a combination of underreported symptoms, including Parkinson's-like tremors and internal vibrations, that are severely impacting the lives of those affected.

A research paper submitted to the journal MedRXiv on Friday aims to raise awareness of a condition that has yet to be defined in people who are still struggling with lingering symptoms months or years after their initial infection with COVID-19. The neologism "long Covid" is an informal term for what doctors call "post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection," or PASC; it defines to the condition in which those who previously had COVID-19, and no longer test positive, still have lingering symptoms.

The authors of the paper include Diana Berrent, who started Survivor Corps, a support group for those recovering from COVID-19.
