Aiming to bring clarity to long COVID, COVID vaccine injury, and related illnesses to help you on your journey
Have you or a loved one, your patient or your client had an infection or vaccination, and things haven't been quite right since? Maybe exercising is harder, exhaustion is constant, weird rashes are appearing, fingers are tingling, or thinking has become difficult (among many other things...). Are you unsure about what is going on, and struggling to find answers or make sense of things?
If so, Long Covid Scientific Consultancy aims to help!
There is a common perception that long COVID is a complete mystery. Whilst there is still much to learn, we know enough to (at least try to) improve many patients' lives. In my own journey, I remember frantically trying to find answers and getting constantly dismissed by doctors. Looking back, I wish I had some guidance from someone. This guidance is what Long Covid Scientific Consultancy aims to provide. I hope to support you in making evidence-based decisions on your journey...
I feel so much more empowered to deal with my health issues.
Harriet is extremely knowledgeable, not just on the science but also on the lived experience of being a complex chronic illness patient. She listens and clarifies to make sure she understands your situation, and responds to everything you say thoroughly. Her report detailing our discussion and my options was clear, concise and forensic. Aside from that, it was just really good to talk to someone who understands, who is also a patient, and who can help you manage the gaslighting and neglect so many suffer at the hands of their GPs

I’m really happy to have found Harriet and her service.
Having been suffering for over a year and met with the usual blank from the NHS, I was getting most of my advice and info from Twitter. Even as a scientist myself, I was finding it difficult to sort the better evidenced treatments from the more wild experimental suggestions, and felt quite overwhelmed trying to figure out how or where to start....Harriet has a wealth of knowledge and patiently talked me through everything I needed to know with excellent clarity. I am feeling optimistic about finding ways to stabilise my condition and hopefully get a little bit of my life back. Thanks Harriet!

Game Changer!
When we were lost and being told we were imagining my daughters symptoms, Harriet spoke to us like sensible people and understood immediately the issues we were struggling with. Her advice both on the call and afterwards in report were extremely informative, accessible and relevant, and the detail meant we could bring her recommendations to healthcare professionals with confidence, successfully accessing treatments that had previously been denied to us

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I’ve unfortunately lost faith in much of the mainstream healthcare system and it’s wonderful to have access to someone who is so knowledgeable and whom I feel I can really trust.
I love being able to consult with Dr Carroll about long-COVID, POTS, MCAS, EDS, microclots, venous outflow obstructions and such. She is so incredibly smart, evidence-based, good at connecting dots, compassionate, helpful and practical. She’s great

Harriet provided a superb service.
She took the time to read through my copious notes and test results in preparation for the call and walked me through her observations in plain English. Harriet highlighted many instances of where medical professionals had been treating me inconsistently with test results and identified areas to explore with my GP. It was extremely refreshing to hear in a straightforward manner how my symptoms linked to the science and enabled me to connect the dots

Harriet knows her stuff!
She does not go outside her appropriate lane. She was really thorough and made some suggestions that have really helped.... Not a minute of this consultation was wasted! So grateful for your knowledge and time

When I was in the deepest pit of darkness, Harriet was the shining light I needed the most.
She was (and still is) a helpful, caring, knowledgeable and reassuring voice, helping to cut through the "possibly's", the "we don't know much about Long Covid", and the "have you tried talking therapy or antidepressants?" style of advice I was left with at the end of the NHS Long Covid service program (the NHS service I received was well meaning, but not as well informed as Harriet's advice to me).
Harriet offered me impartial, evidence-based, scientific options (with the associated risks) for managing Long Covid, so I could make my own decisions. She also helped me with the language to talk to my GP in a way that my concerns weren't simply dismissed, resulting in them agreeing to a particular treatment. This has made a dramatic improvement to my day to day LC symptoms, meaning I've been able to return to most of my pre-COVID activities. So I got the combined effects of:
Thanks so much Harriet, I'd rate your help at 100 stars out of 5 if I could!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Over the past few years I have spoken to and engaged with many medical professionals regarding the symptoms I have been suffering with and none of them have had the depth of knowledge and understanding that Harriet demonstrated. Harriet was able to analyse and breakdown my complex history and symptoms into rational explanations and suggest avenues of treatment and testing that hadn’t been considered while the detailed report that she wrote for my GP has provided much needed clarity and insight. Thank you Harriet

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Harriet is an amazing, kind person.
She has been there when I have been struggling to understand what is wrong with me, helping put all the pieces of the jigsaw together when the NHS abandoned me. She has given me the confidence to go back to my doctors to ask for tests and referrals. Her scientific knowledge of latest research is outstanding.
~Sarah
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
It was great to be able to speak with someone who really gets both the science and the experience of being ill.
As both patient and researcher/scientist, Harriet is exceptionally well positioned to understand the various strands of a complex, multi-system illness in ways that many medical professionals—who are specialists only in their silos—may not be. Harriet's service and knowledge are very comprehensive and detailed. She took the time to look through my reports and test results before we spoke. In particular, I found speaking with Harriet very helpful for figuring out what to ask of healthcare professionals, especially long COVID clinics, and for making sense of my illness for myself. Harriet's insights can help patients to channel their own intuition from lived illness experience, to be taken seriously in appointments, and to potentially avoid gaslighting and time-wasting.

If you’re a long COVID or vaccine injured patient or carer, you may be feeling abandoned or gaslit by your healthcare provider. You may be left believing there is literally nothing that can be done to help. Alternatively, you may have done so much reading that you are overwhelmed and don’t know where to start.
If this sounds familiar, Long Covid Scientific Consultancy aims to help. This is not a protocol, but a way to navigate the science so you can make evidence-based decisions as best as possible. Although I cannot guarantee answers, this service aims to bring some clarity to patients and carers who need it. Long Covid Scientific Consultancy hopes to help you on your journey, so you are not alone, and you have some guidance along your way.
Useful for:
If you are a healthcare professional who goes out of out their way to find answers for their long COVID or similarly complex patients, Long Covid Scientific Consultancy aims to help.
Unfortunately, clinical guidelines are often far behind the evidence. Long Covid Scientific Consultancy aims to provide information on what kind of tests and diagnoses might be useful to explore, along with providing relevant (UK) guidelines where applicable.
Useful for:
If you are a personal trainer, massage therapist, nutritionist, or other health and wellbeing provider, you will inevitably have clients with long COVID or similar. However, some intuitive things like getting back to exercise can be harmful in some patients.
Long Covid Scientific Consultancy aims to inform you of the various considerations for these clients.
Useful for:
Whilst each patient is different, there are some common diagnoses that keep cropping up. You can read about these and find resources (e.g. clinical guidelines, charities) in my blog...
