How are LongCovid patients supposed to recover when the “new normal” includes being reinfected multiple times a year? It’s like being trapped in a Sisyphean doom loop. After long periods of suffering, your health improves a bit. Then you get Covid, & you start all over again.

#LongCovid has forced 1 in 5 doctors to reduce their hours or quit their job Report from The BMA found that nearly half have experienced loss of earnings “Life is absolutely miserable. Every day is a struggle. I wake up exhausted" said one consultant inews.co.uk/news/health/lo…

Sense of urgency! Tysklands hälsominister Prof. Karl Lauterbach om #LongCovid: Kostnader >5 miljarder € . Många drabbade är också frånvarande från arbetsmarknaden. Det viktiga är dock hjälpen till de drabbade. För detta ändamål presenterar jag planerna för Bundesgesundheitsministerium idag kl 12:30.

More than 3 years in, with tens of millions of people still suffering, this is the comprehensive list of validated treatments for #LongCovid, as established through rigorous, randomized clinical trials

I’m getting very close to being done with all of this, if something significant doesn’t change soon. We cannot be expected to exist like this, suffering endlessly. We have no $, clinical care or support system. This is inhumane. I will say it until someone listens.

Yet more nonsense. Many kids have been devastated by Covid. They don’t have energy for full-time school or the immune systems to deal with protection-less classrooms. Brain inflammation is havoc for behaviour. Get real Gillian Keegan #LongCovidKids #PANS bbc.com/news/education…

I have been sick with #COVID19 for 10 days now. I was able to avoid this disease since its beginning, but it finally got me, as it did with so many people around the world. I never thought that this disease was not severe. I lost my grandmother to it in 2021; she had an extensive

A teacher on Reddit r/Massachusetts says their entire family has been sick non-stop for 4 months. Dozens of others chime in, reporting the same:

Ja. Lita på vad patienterna säger! ⬇️

Explain to me how this TikTok’r gets it and “public health experts” don’t. MDs don’t. Share widely on multiple platforms. Shout out to Mike Hoerger, PhD MSCR MBA for breaking through to the younger generation. h/t Sass for alerting me to this most excellent video.

You know what, #medtwitter? Fair warning: I’m coming into the week pretty pissed off. I spent the MLK day weekend catching up on reading and thinking about the experiences of people with #LongCovid, chronic #lyme, #MECFS and other PAIS. I finally read Brian Vastag’s touching 1/

The day back in 2020 l realized l was about to lose everything that l had worked for all my life was captured by Adam Ferguson day 1,405 of living with #LongCovid and indeed I have suffered tremendous loss society has totally 💔 dismissed myself and so many others 💔 😢

Nuläge: FHM erkänner att de inte har ögonen postcovidbollen, utan hänvisar till SoS. Dessa tycker att ”det är svårt att säga om kunskap fattas”, och reflekterar inte ens över att deras officiella statistik talar för ett 90-procentigt mörkertal. >> sverigesradio.se/avsnitt/vetens…

Sammanfattningsvis: Covid ger inte bara akuta effekter, utan även långvariga. Postcovid är ett stort problem även bland unga. (Viruset kollar inte leg.) 0,5-1% av alla barn är drabbade. Det behövs kunskap, resurser och - viktigt! - erkännande. tv4play.se/klipp/fc669176…

Missuppfattningen att ”barn inte blir sjuka av covid” har verkligen fått konsekvenser för de unga med postcovid. Man kan inte fatta att det är så dåligt som det är på många håll. Snälla, pretty, please: Nu måste kunskapen öka! Lär er. 🙈😳 sverigesradio.se/artikel/lakare…

I’m pretty sure the 2023-2024 school year has been one of the most brutal periods of time my household has ever endured. We have like 20 days left, & my kid is late EVERY DAY & sick every other week. He comes home & sleeps until morning. Every single person in this house has

Obekväm sanning: Sättet som vården ”hanterar” postcovid visar att svenska läkare behöver ett massivt kunskapslyft - inte bara om postcovid utan också om postinfektiös sjukdom i stort och om ME. Man behöver inse att man haft fel och kunna lära om. Vilka tar styrning på det?

We moved into our current house in January 2020. I IMMEDIATELY got Covid & spent the next 2 years in bed. We never fully unpacked. As I’m packing to move again, it’s like sorting through another person’s life. I don’t recognize a lot of my belongings & clothing (My entire

🦠🦠🦠 USA inne i tolfte covid-vågen sedan pandemins utbrott. Vilken i ordningen är det här i Sverige? Samma troligen. Ändå pratar vi bara om influensa & handtvätt. Luftburna virus smittar när vi andas - inte från ytor med ”baciller” på. I landet som delar ut Nobelpriset. 🙈
