@austinxwalker Covid Oct 2022. Went running a week later, high heart rate, chest pain. Rested another week, tried again to jog, everything fell apart, microvascular issues, pain, reactions to food, insomnia, still fighting today.
Thank you for trying to help.

Just received concerning data coming soon from UCLA and Mount Sinai clinicians about lymphopenia, covid and breast cancer metastases. Sadly our concerns of the increasing incidence of metastatic disease and recurrences of patients in remission following Covid and worse with lymphopenia is being validated. Data soon at AACR this month.
Just wild to read all this news coverage about the COVID-19 "Cicada" variant without any mention of the devastating, long-term health effects this virus can leave behind as a result of #LongCovid.
What are we doing?
