After a long wait, our longitudinal long COVID study is finally published in @NatureComms: https://t.co/0xfTnjTPNB. We find a skeletal muscle alterations in patients with #longcovid, which worsen with exercise. 1/n

We're losing spouses, partners, parents and friends. We're are also losing intellectual, physical and social capital. #LongCovid #mecfs may come for one, but it impacts many @abcnews https://t.co/vOPnjBpxMD

@shivani_chdhry Beautifully said! Thank you

[Erica Crome @EricaCrome]

When US estimates of " ...the cost of long COVID rivals in aggregate the cost of the Great Recession" and is only likely to grow - surely it's a sign it should be a public health priority? #longcovid #MECFS https://t.co/jJhseWTa80

And telling that people feel they need to ask for clinics that are actually " across all the latest research and all the latest treatments," #LongCovid

[Sophie Scott @sophiescott2]

Good story - why are we closing #longCovid clinics in Australia? https://t.co/nj12YjP3zq

We need a moon shot to understand and treat #longcovid - a disease projected to impact as many people as heart disease in the next decade. This understanding requires team science and could alter how we think about the immune system for future pandemics https://t.co/zIaZQlu5Jm

@chydorina @remissionbiome Same as yours @chydorina !

[Erica Crome @EricaCrome]

Fantastic article capturing the daily reality of #mecfs by @abcnews - thank you so much to the professional women who opened up their homes and experiences to share their life pre and post me/cfs to raise awareness.

@RenegadeRes - loving your work. If #mecfs and #longcovid are systemic, could be a cascade of causes -e.g. initial trigger ->inflammation ->dysautonomia -> #sibo/ #pots -> social isolation -> etc. Combinations of treatment may be needed to address all maintaining factors?

[Erica Crome @EricaCrome]

Great update from Dr Norman Swan on #LongCovid in Australia. In addition to eye-opening numbers (400k in Vic alone), research about the pathway between Covid, inflammation and mental ill-health discussed. Along with the need for coordinated care.

Stories of the personal impact of #MECFS #LongCovid are heartbreaking. When our lives suddenly stop - skills, knowledge and capacity are also suddenly lost from our workplaces and economies.

Investing in effective treatments and supports is essential to stop the #lostCVsofME

[Erica Crome @EricaCrome]

@TraceySpicer Thanks for sharing - it can feel so strange suddenly not being able to do what you used to do so easily. Vertigo and crashes in general are nasty!

@trishgreenhalgh From personal experience, it has to be an obscure art-house film that seems endless, is all soft-filtered shots from weird angles and you can't follow the plot of!

[Erica Crome @EricaCrome]

@CoyneoftheRealm As a clinical psychologist with a research PhD - now with a living experience of #MECFS - loving the posts @CoyneoftheRealm no amount of reframing will cure PEM. Much more helpful to focus on disconnection from networks, changes in identity, frustration, loss and FOMO!

[Erica Crome @EricaCrome]

Service design - such an important element of effective care - but sometimes easy to miss when we focus on intervention level research. Great to see this conversation at #SMHR2022 @ian_hickie

[Erica Crome @EricaCrome]

@ProfFranKayLamb I'm already in the lobby...

[Erica Crome @EricaCrome]

Very meta watching yourself present at #smhr2022 thanks for the virtual format for all of us in COVID-19 isolation. @ProfFranKayLamb - feeling the pain!
