DESCRIPTION:Join acupuncturist\, Jane Grissmer\, for a discussion of treat
 ments for long COVID..\nhttps://mcpl.libnet.info/event/5158029
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>A significant minority of persons who have
  had COVID-19 experience prolonged symptoms. Long COVID\, a constellation 
 of persistent symptoms\, affects COVID-19 survivors in varying ways and to
  varying degrees. Common complaints are weakness on exertion\, increased h
 eart rate when changing body posture from lying to sitting or standing\, b
 rain fog\, dizziness\, headaches\, muscle pain and insomnia. The most comm
 on symptom is post-exertional malaise or chronic fatigue.</p>\n<p>Acupunct
 ure can be an ally of Western medicine in treating long haulers. The most 
 important question an acupuncturist can ask when treating a long hauler is
  the following: What is the root and the branch of the QI deficiency? Join
  acupuncturist Jane Grissmer for a discussion about the power of this esse
 ntial question.</p>\n<p>Jane Grissmer is an acupuncturist with&nbsp\;40 ye
 ars of clinical experience. She is co-founder of Crossings&nbsp\;Healing a
 nd Wellness&nbsp\;in Silver Spring\, Maryland. Jane&nbsp\;has&nbsp\;served
 &nbsp\;acupuncture students as former Division Chair of Theory at Maryland
  Institute for Integrative Health and currently as adjunct faculty. She ha
 s published articles on the topics of Chinese medicine\, healing\, emotion
 s and the seasons.<br /><strong></strong></p>\n<p><strong>Join our Event H
