It is so interesting to see the research advancing in other countries while stagnating in the US. But I am hopeful that is moving forward. #longcovid #covid19

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences.
It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

To those of us that have been following Covid and Long Covid, it is not a surprise to see rampant misinfo on the CDC pages.
With the autism/vaccine page, know this is not their first instance of this, it’s just the first time you have taken notice or care of it.
It’s not too late to mask up 😷

The President of the United States is publicly calling for the political prosecution of his political opponents, urging the death penalty because they urged soldiers to uphold the rule of law.

This person was infected with COVID twice and recovered. A 3rd infection brought manageable long COVID symptoms, but they were still able to work. After a 4th infection a few months ago, they haven’t recovered at all — showing how repeated infections can cause severe, lasting damage.

Everyone thinks they will be the exception.
Serious illness or disability won’t happen to them and IF it does, they will be able to afford it.
The reality is it only takes one catastrophic event to change your life, especially in a country that doesn’t guarantee healthcare for all.

My MCAS hit before Covid, but it’s been devastating to my ability to eat.
I’m down to 10 safe foods. I’m malnourished and still losing weight.
The digestive and allergic issues that can accompany Long Covid are very destructive to quality of life.

So I try not to give too many gory details about life with long covid, but I also think it’s important to give a clear picture of what can happen to anyone.
Over the last yearish, I’ve become allergic to more than 70 foods. Today I lost soy. I’m not how long I can keep eating at all.

Yall real silent about disability injustices because most of you don’t see disability as a thing that can happen to you.
We are “aww those poor people”. Meanwhile disability can happen to anyone at any moment and those injustices you ignored? They become your experiences too
