Long COVID doesn’t always announce itself with a clear start date. For many patients, the shift from recovery to persistent illness is subtle at first—but life-altering in the long run. So when does Long COVID actually begin? At The Spero Clinic, we approach this question differently—by focusing less on timelines and more on the nervous system’s response.
There is no universally agreed-upon day post-infection that defines Long COVID. What’s more important than the timeline is recognizing when symptoms shift from temporary to persistent. At The Spero Clinic, we look at what your autonomic nervous system is doing, not just how long it’s been since you were infected.
