Why did the blog stop?

Hi @car0, I think the blogs are mostly Mayo Clinic Newsfeed articles where members can post comments on like the ones here?
--- Post-COVID Recovery Blog: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/post-covid-recovery/.

Is this the one you are referring to?

Thanks…But a blog isn’t a newsfeed, and there’s a tab for news. The articles are written by the same author…. There were articles almost monthly if not more, until August of 2022.
I’m not being difficult here, I genuinely am interested in why! And, it’s curious that if it IS a copy of news? Why call it a blog?

@car0, you're right. Publication to the Post-COVID Recovery Blog has stopped on Mayo Clinic Connect as Dr. Vanichkachorn continues to focus on patient care and long COVID research.

To stay up to date with the work of Mayo Clinic's research and guidance related to post COVID recovery, please follow
- Mayo Clinic News Network https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/
You can filter for COVID specific article here: https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/category/covid-19/

Long COVID articles are also published on Mayo Clinic's website, such as this one:
- COVID-19: Long-term effects https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/coronavirus/in-depth/coronavirus-long-term-effects/art-20490351

Thank you. I really appreciate the links, too!
I have noticed that long haul is no longer … “sexy”… not that it ever was (!) but it was NEW and interesting.. now it is just tired, like the peeps who have it.
I really need to read more about long haul research and updates— I’ve had this since March 2020 and am one of those who are verrrrry tired of it.
Thank you

@car0, I know that it can feel like there is a waning interest in long-haul COVID. This is largely due to media turning its attention to other hot topics. People suffering from post COVID syndrome have skin in the game and continue to have a vested interest. Likewise, researchers and medical professionals caring for those with long COVID remain steadfast in their search for answers.

Dr. Van just published a new blog post:
- Paxlovid Promise? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/post-covid-recovery/newsfeed-post/paxlovid-promise/

The promise of this study is encouraging news for people who get COVID and to help avoid getting long COVID. While this doesn't help your situation directly, it gives hope that fewer people may be added to list of those who have to manage this condition.

Thank you for your comments and recognizing my point.

I DO appreciate Covid treatments— I think most with Long Haul do.

However, I’m watching other media outlets and medical posts. I think the treatment of long haul is going the way of CFS. I’m not commenting on the acknowledgement of;that is a separate topic. I’m speaking to how curiosity and motivation ( to say nothing of financing! ) within the medical community has largely run its course. Alongside the country’s interest in all things pandemic.
That the Mayo’s Long Haul blog has turned to Covid treatment is not surprising to me. I think Long Haulers will be left to their own devices, help chats, and the odd specialty doc who investigates.

I found this NY times article illustrative.

I believe as more of the population vaccinates the cases of Covid decrease. I had Covid last September, and now tire more quickly than before. Not sure if it was just Covid, but a combination of age and Covid. Good luck to you.
