Prof Garner in his own words, Sept 2020, he says dont try exercise - pace yourself, - then by November 2020 he took a diving holiday in the Caribbean during his Long-Covid, contracted Dengue fever at that time, returned to UK, and by Jan 2021 he writes in the @bmj_latest blog that it was brain retraining that helped him get better. https://t.co/GG2yBauvnL

@AlanLevinovitz@WIRED What a bizarre piece of writing!
There are literally hundreds of basic science papers on the molecular mechanisms behind long covid- with concrete biological changes documented.
Given that you lack a medical & scientific background, what motivates you to write stuff like this?
@hannahspierMD I "moved forward" for the first 10 years of my illness, ignored bodily symptoms worked with psychiatrists, their approach didn't work, just got me worse. Awesome idea though, as if nobody would have thought of this before 👍

@albertus3M@liamsLCjourney@hannahspierMD Surely not, didn't help me. Living bedridden now, cause I ignored symptoms and worked when I should have listened to my body. So this approach doesn't work for ME/CFS patients.
Einerseits haben wir das durch die öffentliche Hand, eben eröffnete ME/CFS & Long Covid-Zentrum in Salzburg, welches nach dem wissenschaftlichen Standard der @MedUni_Wien diagnostiziert
und dann haben wir die Gutachter der PVA, die wonach beurteilen?

Turns out I was featured in this very dumb article about long covid. And the guy lives in my small town and didn’t even reach out to ask for my perspective! Just sent him this email.
@AlanLevinovitz Can you imagine having any other illness- MS, cancer, a severe autoimmune disease, and a reporter writing a long form article about how that illness is “totally real” but they interviewed a guy who says he was cured by envisioning himself getting better so maybe that will work
