@atranscendedman All of the above have improved. Hard to choose between energy/fatigue and cognitive/brain fog. Both have massively improved with tirzepatide.
All those freaking out about disappearing science and public health, it is a disaster. However, this didn't pop up suddenly. It started w/Biden dropping masks during an ongoing pandemic, reducing the isolation period by half, & then declaring the pandemic over w/zero evidence.
I really really wish I didn’t follow the “it’s okay to unmask now” in 2023 and wish I carried on against everyone around me telling me it’s now fine. If I did carry on masking I may not have long Covid now. My first infection was in 2023 when I unmasked. Don’t make my mistake.

After five years of propaganda that everyone who dies of COVID had “pre existing conditions” so it’s no actually nbd, the NYT is giving us that people dying of starvation in Gaza had “pre existing conditions” so again, it’s nbd. Fuck these lies and fuck this blatant ableism
"leftist" but you don't mask
"disability advocate" but you don't mask
"community care" but you don't mask
"we keep us safe" but you don't mask
"healthcare access for all" but you don't mask
"do no harm" but you don't mask
"liberation for all" but you don't mask
There’s an enormous amount of disinformation flying around about NIH right now, so let’s clear a few things up. The NIH is not Big Pharma. It doesn’t make drugs, it doesn’t set public health agendas, and it doesn’t profit from your illness.
Research for #longcovid treatment is the most important thing. This disease is absolutely solvable. Look outside, 95% of the world does not care about Covid prevention.
Today, along with 2,000 other NIH employees, I had to clear out my office 😭
It was truly the honor of my life to work with such incredibly passionate people focused on improving human health.
I will be masking until there is a sterilizing COVID vaccine, because I don’t consent to having my brain damaged even further and I don’t care if it makes other people feel uncomfortable.
What many people don’t realize about living with a chronic illness is that we don’t wake up knowing how we’ll feel each day.
This makes planning or scheduling incredibly difficult, predicting how we’ll feel three weeks from now at 11:00 a.m. is nearly impossible.
Is now a good time to mention that last month over 25 Los Angeles schools rejected our offers of completely free air purifiers for every single classroom on their campuses?
Attempts to frame #LongCovid as somehow 'woke' are pathetic and vile. Long Covid is a medical condition. It is objective, measurable cerebral hypoperfusion, endothelial dysfunction and more. Intrinsically apolitical. Not left or right. Just hard, demonstrable, scientific fact.
To the folks flipping out on me because you got sick after a Covid vaccine:
I BELIEVE YOU.
Why don't YOU believe ME when I say Covid does the same things?
I've never had a Covid vaccine and never will, so I'm certainly not pushing that on you.
IT'S NOT EITHER/OR.
It's spike.
Thank you for masking @hasanthehun — would love to see a stream / episode on #LongCovid in 2025. It will be the 5 year anniversary of millions of people with this devastating condition.
Most able bodied people aren’t afraid of becoming disabled because they believe the system will support them. That doctors will work night and day to figure out what’s wrong when they’ll most likely tell you it’s just anxiety.
I'm trying to follow anyone who is any combination of:
Living with Long Covid
Caring for people with Long Covid
Trying not to spread Covid
Trying not to catch Covid
Studying or researching Covid
If that's you, thank you, and please give me a wave 🖐️
No need to if I'm already following you ❤️
