Long Covid begins in the brain. We have a breached BBB that leads us to not be able to regulate our cerebral blood flow in response to gravity. This leads to Sympathetic overdrive which is a compensatory mechanism and this leads to a blunted baroreflex and preload failure. 2)

5/n ME sufferers can sometimes be active for a period of time and above their body's normal limits thanks to adrenaline rushes, but at the price of a severe and sometimes even persistent worsening of the illness afterwards. The extra activity that adrenaline enables causes damage

#MECFS might be unique in that overexertion can chronically worsen your condition: Patients unknowingly inflict permanent damage on themselves, often without making the connection or following doctor's orders. 90% of my baseline worsening crashes could have easily been avoided.

[NEW RESEARCH] People with #LongCOVID and #MECFS have similar impaired vascular function Endothelial cells are the cells that make up the inner lining of blood vessels. These cells are involved in the exchange of blood contents (oxygen, nutrients, hormones, etc) and surrounding

Mitochondrial dysfunction still persisted after SARS-COV-2 was cleared, so viral persistence wasn’t the mechanism in this study. Instead, reduced ATP production was due to altered mitochondrial gene expression. tl;dr: Viruses teach good beans bad tricks. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

This is big news! According to the CDC, 1.3% of the US population is affected by #MECFS. This suggests that the medical industrial complex is ignoring and actively harming approximately 4 million people in the United States alone. What a shame!

The U.S. Congress wants you to think these Jewish grandmothers are somehow antisemites. But their desire for peace is deeply rooted in Jewish values, in care for Jews everywhere in addition to their care for Palestinians and life itself.

Sam Dr.Ash Hope she's soon feeling better. It's criminal for governments / public health not to be warning people about the ongoing pandemic of a Level 3 Biohazard pathogen which causes immune dysfunction, can cause brain damage, massively increases chances of heart attack / strokes

Please keep your sick kids in quarantine until they are better. Cold, flu, Covid, whatever, it’s just the polite thing to do. This is basic society 101, people.

This tremendously exciting paper is now published: Exercise in #LongCovid induces severe tissue damage & skeletal muscle necrosis, metabolic disturbances, myopathy, & tissue infiltration of amyloid-containing deposits. Patient-Led Research Collaborative helped fund this study!

Mask requirements are being reinstated. Long COVID studies and hearings are being arranged. Messages about clean air are being disseminated. All of this is a result of amazing grassroots advocacy, who have persistently pushed governments to do better for years. Advocacy works!

The interaction of SARS-CoV-2 with the cardiovascular system can be seen as a subtle yet destructive force. Like a slow-burning acid eroding vital machinery. 2/

1) Many chronic illnesses & disabilities are invisible which means you can’t always tell who needs a disabled parking spot, disabled bathroom stall, or mobility aids. So it’s not necessary to tell people they don’t look chronically ill or disabled. You can’t see the inside of our

BBB Found Breached in Long Covid by Dr. VanElzakker

In a prior appointment my neurologist laughed at my N95 and told me “wearing masks all the time is NOT good for you!” Her staff just called to reschedule my appt. She is only working 3 days per month now…
