Kate Porter, who first was sick with COVID-19 in March 2020, rests on the floor and stretches her neck after receiving a dry-needling treatment for the intense and persistent pain she experiences as part of her Long COVID symptoms, in Beverly, Massachusetts, U.S., September 6, 2022. Porter says “I had fevers every day for about 7 months straight. I had severe muscle weakness, shortness of breath, got diagnosed with conditions that people my age don’t get diagnosed with, pericarditis with severe chest pain for 6 months, and then diagnosed with debilitating occipital and trigeminal neuralgia.” REUTERS/Brian Snyder
