@chydorina Ah yes. And though my weight /eating has improved - I still spend most of the day reclined and use a power wheelchair in order to cook. Only have “energy “ to cook once or twice a week in the morning. Freeze everything. So yes- I remain quite sick. Will focus on nutrition. Thx!
You should really just read it yourself.
Seriously.
I’m pretty sure my cat lost three lives to my cheering and fist pumping.
Did I mention? SHARE WIDELY.
You’ve been waiting for this one 👇

It's finally done.
I built this for us because until now, there's *nothing* for us. And because our damaged brains shouldn't be the reason we're losing the fight for our health.
I wanted a way for us to see the patterns our brains are too tired to track, like realizing a crash today was actually triggered two days ago, or finally having the information handy when we need it for a prior authorization, or solid, ready proof for a disability appeal.
We are constantly told we're "over-focused on symptoms," but this is about turning that data into a defense. I want us to walk into those 15-minute appointments and change the conversation from being labeled to being taken seriously.
We deserve a system that remembers for us so we can focus on just surviving until there's a cure. 1/2 🧵

VT Digger: "Vermonters with long Covid look to senators for reform"
'Though millions of Americans have reported living with long Covid, there are no clear-cut diagnostic tests for the illness or widely accepted treatments'

I introduced a resolution to recognize March as Long COVID Awareness Month to raise awareness about the millions of people living with persisting symptoms after a COVID-19 infection.
These symptoms can be debilitating. Congress must step up and properly support research into long COVID.

Excited to announce the decentralization of our lumbrokinase trial @polybioRF, now open it to patients with #LongCOVID, #MECFS, and #chronicLyme throughout the cont. US. You will receive the drug by mail & complete VIRTUAL study visits. Enroll at [email protected]!
Testified today before the VT Senate Health and Welfare Committee. Long COVID is prevalent- as common as childhood asthma. Prevention is possible- reducing transmission should be a public health goal. We did this - 2020-21, in my toddler classroom. #LongCOVIDAwareness
Superb job to the Vermont team that was invited to testify (3/27) for the VT Senate Health and Welfare Committee- on the topic of Long Covid
Hats off to @YlanRoy, Dr. Katherine Menson, Cristine Selvidio and all who helped contribute
Appreciate you!

@Dave_it_up@all_brains Thank you! I will be testifying on Friday as well- Senate Health and Welfare Committee. Wish me clarity and a short (rather than long/dreadful) post testimony crash.
Vermont has just passed a resolution recognizing Long Covid Awareness Month/ Day. This is the time to reach out to legislators- to create the change we wish to see. Looking for Vermonters w/ Long Covid. @Dave_it_up (in case you know of folks). #Vermont#LongCOVIDAwareness
Meighan is a force. Watch this video and follower her.
Strategically, getting the CDMRP to fund #LongCOVID research would be among the most tactically important wins for moving the dial toward a productive research path. Find that pressure point, and act!
