Same here. Prior to Long Covid, I truly loved academic writing. Now i can’t do it; the complex attention it requires, esp. as y’all noted at the editorial phase, makes me feel ill and triggers major PEM. I can only write short notes, song lyrics, poetry: things I can see on a single page. Fragments.

God I feel this. I was a decent writer pre-ME, not because I’m a good writer but because I’m a good editor.

And now editing is one of the fastest ways for me to trigger PEM.

Now, I cannot write more than a few lines or else I get deeply deeply ill, sometimes for weeks. It has been one of the biggest heartbreaks. I miss using my desktop, and my pen and paper, and my brain. This is something I genuinely cry over. Weep. I miss writing, analyzing, and thinking so much.

Ultimately, we hope this work not only contributes both to a reliable diagnostic tool and a deeper understanding of ME/CFS but also continues to bring understanding of the biological problems that result in the lived experiences of these patients”

ME/CFS help = Long COVID help

NEW: Long Covid risk for children doubles after a second infection, study finds www.nytimes.com/2025/09/30/h...

Facts….they’re just snatching up anyone that’s brown don’t even care if they’re legal or not

Love how he gets into the bike lane. Now here’s a Kantian. 👏

OMG. He speaks for many here: unaware of the illusion. It’s bonkers.

Really important topic.

It’s a great day to donate to @thesicktimes.org. Nowhere else is gathering this critical information for people who have Long Covid—or anyone who might get it, which a new NIH incidence study says is at least 1 in 20 people who get Covid.

The week is middle-aged
when its garbage bins are emptied.

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.”

Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

“Were told by leaders across the board that we are the future, but when it comes to the pandemic our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.”

WHEELS!

Crazy how you can actually can see Satan pulling the rein every few seconds. Watch the head toss right.

A million terrible sermons tomorrow: Charlie didn’t D-I-E for D-E-I.

🔬 A new study sheds light on why people with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) experience post-exertional crashes and brain fog.

It focuses on a blood protein called haptoglobin (Hp) and how its different genetic forms affect symptoms. 🧵

Wonder ye then at the fiery hunt?

So well said.

I don’t know what’s coming, but I’m going to take it lying down

📌 mega-thread of autoimmunity x covid ❗

things you may find:
- studies showing sars2 infection leads to autoimmunity
- studies showing impacts of sars2 on autoimmune people
- anything else i feel like fits

What a time to defund science, to say nothing of devaluing vaccines and continued masking.
How long until the consensus is that this isn’t worth ignoring?

Michael Peluso slide from the RECOVER-TLC conference today.

ADRD = "Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias"

As someone affected, I am actually relieved to hear someone be straight about this: Long Covid "brain fog" is dementia. Enough soft-pedaling; it's a crisis.
