@thejumbles Oh Julia, I'm sorry you are dealing with this. I know all too well that devastation of long covid complications. Have a follow of @edyong209 at The Atlantic; he's written a lot (and provides audio versions of his articles) about brain fog and C19.

[Ruta Rimas @TheRRascal]

Semi annual reminder that being a parent is hard. It's wonderful too, but also very hard.

[Ed Yong is not here @edyong209]

🚨I wrote about ME/CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome). The US has millions of people with it & maybe two dozen docs who specialize in it.

This medical crisis needs urgent attention, esp. now COVID has hugely increased the number of long-haulers. 1/

@BrianLehrer @edyong209 @WNYC Thank you for this segment and how it pertains to LC. My husband caught C19 in March '20 (at the hospital when our daughter was born) and has suffered since, esp with PEM. He has been gaslit by doctors and has finally found an advocate with a clinic after 2.5 years of hell.

[Ruta Rimas @TheRRascal]

Been a while, tweeeeter. But I come with exciting news! Razorbill is looking for an editor! This person would report to me so if you like strange people (me), cats, and YA, and also happen to be an associate editor...check it out! https://t.co/1ADg0WFUUJ

[Ruta Rimas @TheRRascal]

Having a child during a pandemic is really, really hard. Trying to scramble between work emails, baby, and other life obligations and sometimes it's just....hard.

[Ruta Rimas @TheRRascal]
