Today I showered. And I mixed a meatloaf.
These previously each alone would have been A LOT in one day.
I also put the meatloaf in the oven and microwaved potatoes and peas. I got help putting food on plates and taking the meatloaf out of the oven.
But look what I did! #MECFS #LongCovid

I am just a microscopist with social anxiety. But seeing #Covid impact on the brain through the lenses of the microscope has affected me. It’s hard not to feel for the millions sick everywhere.
Below is a 2021 video about our research. Can we please keep talking about #LongCovid?

The idea that #LongCovid is somehow “disputed at best” is ignorant at best, and at worst a mean lie.
It’s not disputed, either that it is a physical illness or that it derives from having COVID 19 by my GP, neurologist, endocrinologist, cardiologist, health insurer, government, the EU or the WHO.

#LongCovid is not a ‘subject’ to dispute. It’s a health condition that changes people’s lives. Definitions can evolve & that’s not an excuse to dismiss the illness itself. Diagnostic criteria for diabetes have repeatedly changed over time but no one takes u seriously if you say diabetes in disputed!

It is so outrageously ableist to say we should ban masks & stop people from protecting their health & the health of those around you.
COVID is still spreading.
People are still dying from COVID.
Millions of people are struggling with #LongCOVID.
And COVID is just one of many reasons to mask

I can't believe receiving messages like this is the new normal! This one (shared with permission) was written by a young white man working in the healthcare sector - for those who believe #LongCovid only affects sobre groups.
You can delete CDC files, but you can't delete sick people.💔

Genital organs are highly vascularized - sexual arousal comes from a high degree of blood flow.
Covid infections cause damage to the vascular system (blood vessels) throughout the body.
The result?
Sexual dysfunction.

This was a ROUGH week.

For no particular reason whatsoever, I've decided to share the text of a lecture I gave last March. TL;DR: only people who have experienced lengthy and painful undiagnosis get to have opinions about whether overdiagnosis is a real social condition or just all in some people’s heads

#Yukoners, about 1 out of every 375 of us is currently infected with #COVID. The @yukon.ca won't tell you that because they think COVID is just a bad cold now. It isn't, & once you develop #LongCOVID after enough #Reinfections, you'll understand the problem -

People with #LongCovid are so desperate for answers that many become their own clinical trial.
We reviewed some of the most talked-about experimental treatments discussed on Reddit rating science & risks
How many are actually worth trying?
