#longcovid
#LongCovid Gestern am Weg zum Arzt. Eine ältere Dame um die 80 geht am Gehsteig vor mir. Ich hätte sie gerne überholt, weil viel zu langsam und es gab genug Platz. Ich konnte es nur nicht. Ich hab nicht genug Geschwindigkeit aufnehmen können, um vorzugehen. Atemnot. Und die Erkenntnis, dass in dem Monat exakt nichts (oder nicht viel) besser geworden ist. 😥
Versnel onderzoek naar behandelingen van #LongCOVID:
Dit is een unieke studieopzet waarin meerdere geneesmiddelen tegelijkertijd onderzocht worden, in een grote internationale samenwerking.
Met deze actie haalt Stichting Long #COVID geld op waarmee nu al 2 projectmanagers kunnen beginnen met administratieve voorbereidingen die nodig zijn voor het onderzoek. Zodra het geld vanuit de overheid vrijkomt, kunnen de klinische onderzoeken dan direct beginnen.

Burnet Oration: Dr Ziyad Al-Aly urges action for long COVID treatment | Burnet Institute https://www.burnet.edu.au/knowledge-and-media/news-plus-updates/burnet-oration-dr-ziyad-al-aly-urges-action-for-long-covid-treatment/
@jmcrookston I’ll be frank; I was just waiting to see what would happen to his attitude after he finally got #Covid (in March?). Despite a case of #LongCovid that fortunately resolved (he’s one of the lucky ones) that at least got him talking about that more, I was disappointed but not surprised. I really think this virus does something to the human brain. (Maybe to his, maybe not, but attitudes change.)
Actually, I know it does. We both know. There have been studies showing it for 2 years now.
Gut microbes are key to our well-being, I believe. That’s one of the reasons why I choose to eat #plantBased whole foods.
I’ll leave this link here in case you’ve muted my boosts. This is hopeful news for those who suffer #LongCovid.

Thank you Ziyad Al-Aly for all of your great work. His remarks to @BurnetInstitute :
“We looked at the heart, lungs, kidneys— we saw increased risk of diabetes, mental health disorders, & blood clotting problems. We saw increased risk for nearly every organ system.
Long Covid is serious. Don’t trivialize reinfection—if you dodged the bullet the first time, you may not be so lucky the second time.”

#LongCovid seems to be the end result of #Covid19 damaged gut microbes ...
"The gut microbiomes of patients with PACS (long covid) were characterised by decreased microbial diversity and richness and reduced abundance of short-chain fatty-acid producing bacteria after SARS-CoV-2 clearance."

Wisdom from Canada:
"It’s time for our society to admit that we’ve made a mistake and change course. The #COVID-is-mild experiment, despite the wishing and the hoping, has been a tragic failure. We aren’t just accepting ongoing hospitalizations and deaths to protect the economy, but also ignoring the social and economic costs of continuing high levels of acute infections. Worse still are more cases of #LongCovid ..." #CovidIsNotOver

The brain as target of the #longCOVID symptomatology seems one of the most evident sequelae among the survivors. On the other hands, the gender seems to influence the severity of the #SARSCoV2 infection, with higher protection in males during the early phases of the inflammatory reaction but with higher mortality in male patients over the longer time…
I've just been to my GP with long COVID symptoms. In the UK, there's an 18-month wait for 'long COVID clinics' Thanks, Boris - that's what I call bollocks.
Take action to protect people from airborne infections in health & social care settings
- Improve air quality in health & social care settings using ventilation, air filtration
- Reintroduce routine Covid testing
- Ensure staff manuals fully cover preventing airborne infection
- Support ill staff to stay home
- Provide information on use of respiratory masks & #HEPA air filtration against infections

@BroGle Yes, those were the days before the discovery of antibiotics. Flu, TB - you were taken outside into the sun.
Weird that this important information has been lost. Nowadays many consider that to be nonsense - only a few scientist and medics know that that is not the case. They call on people to spread this information.

They're looking at their losses because of the shitty job public health did getting people to vaccinate, and they're taking out ads everywhere with pictures of unmasked kids saying "Covid Loves A Crowd". And I bet they leaned on their own friendly neighbourhood German Health Minister to say "Hey we're finally going to admit Long Covid is real, and it's actually something to fear, so go get vaccinated because that's all we're willing to do for you and we need to stem these billions of losses Pfizer is dealing with." https://www.fiercepharma.com/pharma/pfizers-groton-connecticut-site-next-line-layoffs-amid-global-35-billion-cost-savings
What a timeline we live in when we are having to actively avoid healthcare settings because going there might be the thing that kills you.
My partner has an eye infection thing, again. Had it in the summer too. And his rash is back. This has been a thing for some time now, along with fatigue, forgetfulness, pains and aches. He also had severe back pain this last week for two days, the week before it was knee pain. He probably has #LongCovid. He is high risk. He is also my everything.
Going to the plague filled local clinic just feels so risky. There are no masks, no vaccines, no social distancing, no ventilation. Nothing. There also seems to be no help or sympathy for this.
I hate it that this is what the world learnt from this. That we can't even protect the vulnerable at all?
This is a friendly reminder that any muffin recipe can be easily made into a loaf recipe. Just extend your baking time.
Most loaves/quick breads take around 50-70 mins, but paleo recipes may take a little longer due to density and moisture. Toothpick test works for all.
This drastically shortens on clean up and prep on both ends. You can also break your recipe up into stages. Mix your dry ingredients, then take a rest before you do the wet and bake.
Hang in there long haulers and tired warriors. You deserve a tasty treat.

“I feel as though #GovernmentAssistance programs have not evolved to accommodate people like me with #LongCOVID who have no way of knowing when or if they’re going to make a complete recovery,” he said.
This article is well worth a read.
It’s long past time for media/public health to communicate about the significant risk of life altering events after COVID infections. Every time I see an article downplaying the risks of COVID by focusing only on hospitalizations or deaths (which are still a significant risk, to be clear)…I think there’s little wonder people aren’t taking precautions anymore.

*Call for contributions from comrades*
We are looking for contributions for a new zine trying to document what it feels like to still be #COVIDing, pushed into social isolation, while just about everyone else has normalized #COVID19. Whether out of caution or because of pre-existing conditions, disabilities, #LongCOVID, we think it is important to communicate how the current situation affects many of us living under the neoliberal system of individualised responsibility.
“the tremendous surge in respiratory virus infections relative to prior years does, indeed, have a scientifically valid explanation: Sars-CoV-2 infection causing immune system dysfunction.
As we face an early increase in respiratory virus infections and heightened severity of these infections “white lung syndrome” filling pediatric emergency rooms around the northern hemisphere in early December a full year later, finally, the hypothesis of “Immunity Debt” is finally falling flat.”

I am a writer, copywriter, online editor, and I generally write a lot; I design websites with plain HTML/CSS/JS or using WordPress and other CMS; occasionally I work as a speaker, podcast producer, sound designer — to mention the most important bits.
My blog: https://wernerprise.com/blog (mostly German, but I am considering making it bilingual at some point.)
Climate catastrophe is on my mind, degrowth close to my heart; capitalism needs a short leash!
Also, I still take SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 very seriously. Thus:

Hallo Fediverse, hallo Bits&Baeume,
ich bin umgezogen und erst seit ein paar Stunden hier auf dem neuen Server, deswegen eine kurze Vorstellung — und ein herzliches Dankeschön an @ben
Ich bin Texter und Online-Redakteur, schreibe auch sonst viel; ich gestalte Websites in HTML, mit WordPress oder anderen CMS, arbeite außerdem gelegentlich als Sprecher, Podcast-Produzent, Sounddesigner – um mal die wesentlichen Dinge genannt zu haben.
Mein Blog: https://wernerprise.com/blog
Mir liegt die Klimakatastrophe auf der Seele und Degrowth (Décroissance) am Herzen; Kapitalismus braucht straffe Zügel!
Außerdem nehme ich nach wie vor SARS-CoV-2 und COVID-19 ernst. Daher:

Wegen Long Covid musste Marlene Beier mit 39 in Rente gehen. Lange hat sie auf ihre Diagnose gewartet und erhielt fragwürdige Ratschläge von medizinischem Personal. @martinruecker berichtet exemplarisch über ihre bewegende Geschichte. (€)

Longread (in Engels) met antwoord op de vraag hoe het nu zit met immuniteit na Covid19 en het stapeleffect. Gaan we in de toekomst ongetwijfeld nog heel wat van merken...

Liebe #LongCovid Bubble,
Dinge entwickeln sich sehr gut beim #LongCovidFeed. Alle großen u wichtigen technischen Grundlagen stehen. Aktuell richte ich ein System ein, um Feedback und Fehler zu dokumentieren.

Three severe #LongCovid patients received monoclonal antibodies and "rapidly returned to normal health and previous lifestyles/occupations [...] still sustained to date over two years later."
Holy shit.

Recently came across this gem, very well-said

"Long COVID Research Is a Bit of a Mess"
“For the past three years, much of the media and discussion around long COVID has treated the post-viral condition as an entirely new illness, a view that has been reflected in its research …
But if ME had been studied more thoroughly – or even just believed – years ago, much of the foundational work of long COVID research may already have been achieved."
