Join us for an interview with Dr. Peter Rowe, Professor of Pediatrics and Director of the Children's Centre Chronic Fatigue Clinic at Johns Hopkins University as he gives us new hope for the treatment of Long COVID in Children. He explains that because of the parallels between ME/CFS and Long COVID in children, his 30 years of researched treatments for ME/CFS can be used to help children with Long COVID now while we are waiting for RCT ( randomized clinical trials) to occur.
"We have reached the milestone of 5 years since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"As a family doctor it has been devastating to see so many of my patients become sick and some die from COVID.
"But now I am seeing more and more people who never recovered from COVID and are suffering from LONG COVID, including children.
Today’s discussion will be focused on a discussion of Long COVID in children."
