@ChronicallyTina @DrMichaelScoma Twired is probably thee best name for it!

[MichelleLarson @MichelleLarson]

@Covid_institute This hit me HARD following a CPET test. Felt so good, almost euphoric. Then extremely wired. Then PEM crash.

Is that common in our population?

[MichelleLarson @MichelleLarson]

@orthoterminator False.

[MichelleLarson @MichelleLarson]

@orthoterminator @sarahnadav Absolutely does not "prove" that long covid is a psychiatric disorder. If you care enough to engage with posts like these, do just even a little bit of research around the physiologic impact of post viral conditions. 🙄

[MichelleLarson @MichelleLarson]

@tqlemd @scott_scientist Lol NO

[MichelleLarson @MichelleLarson]

@scott_scientist Look into RTHM health. They have the only HIPAA compliant AI platform that is specifically for chronic illness.

[MichelleLarson @MichelleLarson]

@WIRED This is wild.

[MichelleLarson @MichelleLarson]

@bhanlon15 I have POTS and I truly can't imagine a scenario where I could simultaneously accidently press the pedal to the metal at 100mph whilst maintaining enough control to take the turns she did prior to the crash.

[MichelleLarson @MichelleLarson]

@5149jamesli Wait, that isn't what she said, at least not in the clip you're sharing.

[MichelleLarson @MichelleLarson]

@calirunnerdoc I don't blame him. Is he wrong? There are no specific biomarkers and no diagnostic test exists. There are more than 200 symptoms reported with the illness.

I have Long COVID and I don't even like to call it that. The system isn't built to support it.

[MichelleLarson @MichelleLarson]

@LukasBarth54728 I was officially diagnosed earlier this week. What a time to be alive 👀🤪

[MichelleLarson @MichelleLarson]

@DrJMarine @JeromeAdamsMD I prefer saying I'm dealing with post-viral illness, because unfortunately there's a stigma with anything COVID-related. My agenda is not to push a narrative. It's simply to heal, and get back to baseline so I can get back to a career and life I love.

[MichelleLarson @MichelleLarson]

@DrJMarine @JeromeAdamsMD I am diagnosed with "Long COVID", through process of elimination. Viral reactivations, low ferritin, elevated CRP, objective/new onset cognitive challenges, etc. But I see your point - none of these things are specific to COVID.

[MichelleLarson @MichelleLarson]

@jossyoursalad69 Of course neurotypical people are diagnosed with LC and or ME/CFS. Many of us undergo extensive neuropsych testing which would uncover ND if it was a factor.

[MichelleLarson @MichelleLarson]

@VancouverPDUSA I saw some video that a neighbor captured during the incident. VPD was incredible to watch. Well done.

[MichelleLarson @MichelleLarson]

@kris100leary @diannahaze @loscharlos Yes! I have PEM and this is my experience as well.

[MichelleLarson @MichelleLarson]

@robertlufkinmd To buy a weighted vest and take walks with it every day to recondition myself out of having PEM.

[MichelleLarson @MichelleLarson]

@OurFutureIshere @LongCovidAdvoc @PutrinoLab It's ok if something isn't for you. You can move on without commenting thee most uneducated thought.

[MichelleLarson @MichelleLarson]

@ThePOTSPostman I'm gonna say PEM is the worst, because it's so unpredictable and just a little cognitive/physical/emotional exertion can mean hours of crashing or weeks of crashing.

[MichelleLarson @MichelleLarson]

@myrowantree @ThePOTSPostman I agree that PEM is the worst! Unpredictable and yet also totally kinda predictable. Hang in there!
