Hey frens! Zay's in the ER again, complications due to the deadly combo of Long Covid and chronic houselessness. Please, while he's being treated can we pull together enough for a couple weeks?
Every bit counts! And as soon as possible!

The results of all my tests are in. I'm generally healthy, with no heart or lung problems. The numb left side and band around my chest that makes me wheeze and feel like I can't take a deep breath is actually caused by inflammation in the spinal cord as part of #longcovid. I'm told there is no treatment other than pain management. It will heal or not on its own. Most improvement usually comes in the first three months, so being nearly 2 years in reduces my recovery expectations.

Nicotine patches have been a part of me becoming functional almost every day with long covid.
It's something I haven't read about much outside Facebook support groups, certainly not from mainstream medicine.
My GP did suggest I increase protein and decrease carb intake which is unusual for mainstream medicine.

"ME/CFS and PCC have similar, profound impacts on HRQoL [health-related quality of life] that warrant access to multidisciplinary disability and social support services."

Het risico op een besmetting met #SARSCov2 is momenteel relatief laag. Op 8 maart werden er 60 deeltjes per 100 duizend inwoners in het riool gevonden, wat overeen komt met ongeveer 2100 infecties. Elke infectie levert een risico op lange termijn gezondheidsklachten, en kan daarom beter worden voorkomen. #LongCovid @longcovid

I have arrived back in Cheshire after three flights. Apart of the lack of sleep I am okay. I didn't sleep till 6:45am Canadian time and then only for 1.5h.
I was very glad to have my noise cancelling headphones though I eventually switched to ear plugs as they keep automatically switching off.
I never used to think planes were so loud! It's one of those things about long covid that has stuck with me even as I feel better in many other ways.
Today is long covid awareness day. People are asking for research but there is a lot we can do now for long covid.
Governments need to pay for support like a cleaner. Anything that reduces stress and exertion helps.
For people who can leave their house we need more spaces that are quieter, dimmer, scentless and well ventilated.
Noise cancellation headphones and relaxation or sleep apps help too.
#LongCovid- & #MECFS-Betroffene kämpfen gegen Müdigkeit, Erschöpfung, Konzentrationsprobleme. Das Alltag wird zur unüberwindbare Hürde. Komplett aus dem Leben gerissen. Ihre Geschichten verdienen Gehör & Anerkennung. Es braucht Therapieangebote. #LongCovidAwarenessDay #PIRATEN
si una persona solo es feminista cuando está rodeado de personas trans y mujeres. ¿Tú pensarías que es una persona feminista de verdad?
