Weird to blame Bernie for #RoeVsWade being overturned instead of Barack Obama who actually had the power to codify, but instead used his majorities in Congress to pass Mitt Romney’s healthcare plan, made the bush tax cuts permanent, and bailed out his Wall Street donors

#NEISvoid #pwME #POTS #MECFS #LongCovid anyone in NYC has successfully gotten IV fluids? How did you do it? How did you navigate this? Been trying unsuccessfully for a month now and my out of state Dr is baffled by how they don’t know about it here.

As NYC rents continue to rise, Good Cause would give tenants the power to challenge outrageous rent hikes, demand repairs & speak out against harassment. It’s time to pass #GoodCause. @JLopez_MRNY @JuliaCarmel__ https://t.co/1ezbumgeyu

@calirunnerdoc Signed up but they don’t respond. They don’t have enough staff or just dragging it out to say there is no participation. I’m in NYC and heard same of others trying to enroll & not being contacted either and no answers to follow ups

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis isn't a self-improvement opportunity. I've learnt things I wish I'd never had to know, and I've learnt quite enough now, thank you. It shouldn't be a patient's job to do all the learning - that's what doctors are for.

"The military is trying to learn more about long COVID. Troops who have it worry about their careers."

"I truly felt very abandoned by the healthcare system that I had at that time given 28 years of my life to," Gormont said. "And nobody believed me.."

2020: Stay Home
2021: Get vaccinated
2022: Yay, Covid is over
2023: Why didn't you tell us that even a mild infection can leave a long lasting disability?

@ahandvanish I’m so sorry for your loss Hannah

@RosarioNeaves @EndemicPrepared Although public health leaders will not say it- because it would disrupt their narrative- #LongCovid IS a “severe outcome.” Any condition that causes permanent organ damage and years of illness is severe. You don’t have to be on a ventilator to have your entire life demolished.

One of U.S. capitalism's sick tricks is making you feel guilty for taking a day off.

If your coworkers are slammed because you're out, that's not your fault - that's your company's fault for under-hiring.

#LongCovid is NOT psychosomatic. Not in children, not in adults. There are serious organic abnormalities & simple treatments can help symptoms. #Psychiatry should not be allowed anywhere near us until medically sorted. Get it?#MedTwitter #MedEd #GPTwitter #PsychTwitter #MECFS

[Bateman Horne Center @BatemanHorne]

Just as every well-stocked home has a first-aid kit, every home with a pw #MECFS should have a "Crash Care Kit." PAGE 30 of the ME/CFS Crash Survival Guidebook provides recommendations for items to include in your kits. #LongCOVID #FM #POTS #NMH https://t.co/vRkbxDEXJA

Please Retweet! We are doing a case-control study of lung SPECT-CT among Long COVID patients with persistent respiratory distress. We're also looking for healthy controls (PCR+, >3 months post-infection, without any chronic symptoms). Please email: [email protected]

[Putrino Lab @PutrinoLab]

#LongCOVID allies: we NEED your help for some crucial #LongCOVID research! If you live in the New York area, have FULLY recovered from COVID-19 infection and it has been AT LEAST 12 weeks since you were first sick, please email us at [email protected].

@mkaysen417 @exceedhergrasp1 @Be_Kinderr @Rivkatweets #LongCovid 1st waver here, now #pwME. I had optic neuritis after covid and WMH/lesions not typical places for MS, plus all the fun long covid/ME symptoms incl PEM. I get pushed around drs “are you sure you don’t have MS?” Full work up and don’t meet MS mcdonald criteria 🤷🏻‍♀️

[The Lever @LeverNews]

MUST WATCH: @GavinNewsom campaigned on a promise to lead the fight for single payer health care - then insurers funneled huge money to him & his party, and now California Dems just killed single-payer legislation in their Dem-controlled legislature.

Retweet to spread the video.

Something else our policy makers don’t want to talk about:

SARS-CoV-2 induced brain injuries leading personality changes, mental health issues, and psychosis. In kids, too.

This isn’t “pandemic stress.” It’s an airborne, unmitigated virus that causes brain damage. #COVIDBrain

“If we’re not working on making access to care *easier [for patients with #LongCovid], that’s exclusion” — David Putrino, @PutrinoLab.

I hope everyone attending today’s New York State meeting on #LongCovid hears the message on the risk of profound harm from over-exertion.
