"'In the preface to this excellent book on Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC, aka Long Covid), Professor Faux makes a very clear statement: ""we see you"".The rest of the book could easily be summarised as: ""and we are here to help"".This book provides a comprehensive guide for people living with Long Covid and for those who care for them. Professor Faux describes the condition, theories on causation, diagnostic dilemmas and treatment options. It is evidence-based, balanced, realistic and practical. As the author observes at the end of the book, the journey to recovery may be long and hard, but recovery is achievable. Hope is powerful medicine, and this book offers it in spades.'Professor Paul Kelly, Chief Medical Officer and Head of Interim Australian Centre for Disease Control 'People with Long Covid need compassion and science, which is what Steven delivers.' Dr Norman Swan 'There is an enormous need for practical and evidence-based information on the understanding and management of Long Covid. This book fills this gap, in a highly accessible, personalised and well-organised manner.' Professor Gregory Dore, Infectious Diseases Physician, St Vincent's Hospital"
