There are a number of single consultants or dptmts / clinics specialised in chronic pain / pain management in all the main hospitals in SE London as far as I know where the issue of fatigue is usually thoroughly examined in relation to various conditions, but I do not know if they have been accepting also referrals for long covid patients. For what it is worth, I would check with your GP.
Chronic post viral syndromes are very common - typically after e.g. glandular fever and other viral infections (flu?) in some people. They have been given many names - ME for instance - and the very severe Guillain-Barr? syndrome, but they appear to have very many commonalties - particular muscular weakness and fatigue, as well as some (e.g. anosmia) which may be initial viral infection specific. I would not over-worry about finding a group which is just Covid-19 (long Covid) specific - most of these groups will be helpful at suggesting remedies or alleviations (and support) for many common symptoms.

thank you for your thoughts - I wasn't clear enough in my original message but it's support around the chronic fatigue element of long covid that I'm looking for.

    • No, signs of sense and scrutiny of "leaders" not knowing the impact of what they have done, so much so that every citizen in the UK will suffer financially as a result of an incompetent, incoherent, unhinged Govt that's impact is effecting every citizen in the UK. Where things were being turned around by the last lot, this lot has already compromised all that work in its first 120 days in power. You may not like it but that's the truth.  We are never going to agree and actually Reeves, Rayner and Starmer need to go, like yesterday. 
    • Worse than gb news   Signs of unhinged minds 
    • This is why you are not the chancellor! Rachel Reeves won't be going anywhere until either she fixes things or Starmer needs someone to blame!
    • I fully agree. I hope you had some khinkali (Georgian dumplings), they're fantastic! They used to have only meat ones but now they also have mushroom ones and they're great. I always try to fit in a honey cake at dessert. Overall I appreciate that their food and menu seems to only improve with time.
