@DonnaBriggs12 @BHEdwardsMPCT this on understanding the why, when and how of pacing is excellent. It’s helped me understand that I really have to do a lot more work in this area. Well worth a listen 👌🏻

@celinegounder All very interesting facts, but what are the implications for people like me who have long Covid and whose symptoms have significantly worsened after both vaccines. I am genuinely interested to hear what your thoughts are. #fblc

@TomaszBG29 @RolandSB13 @Dr2NisreenAlwan Yes, I did have AZ for the reasons stated, I didn’t want to take my chance on getting Covid again and going through this a 2nd time. But we know not fully protected anyway so 🙏🏻. I’ve now got MCAS and hypothyroidism as a result of Covid as well as LC. Hope we get answers soon

@TomaszBG29 @RolandSB13 @Dr2NisreenAlwan Extreme fatigue, joint & nerve pain, aches, pins & needles, tinnitus, muscle weakness, brain fog, fever, high temp, Covid tongue, dry eyes, palpitations, blurred vision, sore throat, headache. My chest and shortness of breath got worse after 1st, but thankfully not 2nd.

@ofendlessbooks @Dr2NisreenAlwan Both vaccines made my symptoms worse.

[Lisa Gill @LMGill1]

@TomaszBG29 @RolandSB13 @Dr2NisreenAlwan I’m also 7 months LC and had both vaccines and each time my symptoms have worsened significantly. Had AZ and I def won’t be having a booster if offered, as I wonder where my recovery would be if I hadn’t had the vaccines.

@Huxberry1 @heleneradford @LongCovidWales @WelshGovernment @Eluned_Morgan @fmwales Yes 1 is in Cardiff. The trials aren’t live yet though. The lead investigations are named I t he document.

Younger people admitted to hospital with #COVID19 have almost the same chance of developing organ damage as the over 50's

@Eluned_Morgan yesterday I spoke with my GP surgery regarding their plans for LC, following your recent announce. The response was “what announcement?” Pleases explain how we can access help if the surgeries aren’t even aware of funding? @LongCovidWales #LongCovid

[Lisa Gill @LMGill1]

@ShaneyWright @workngrind @Saralongcovid @Eluned_Morgan @LongCovidWales @LongCovidSOS Totally agree. I have heard that there is also disparity in the clinics and it is largely dependent on where you live. I’m sure you can imagine though, that when none are available, you desperately hope for one regardless!

[Lisa Gill @LMGill1]

@ShaneyWright @workngrind @Saralongcovid Maybe like that in the US, but I live in Wales in the UK and there are NO consultant led clinics available to us. There is a huge disparity in service delivery throughout the UK. @Eluned_Morgan let’s follow the success of USA @LongCovidWales @LongCovidSOS

Long Covid may not always be life threatening, but is always life changing #LongCovid . Act now!

[Prof Nisreen Alwan 🌻 @Dr2NisreenAlwan]

UK: 48,553 confirmed coronavirus cases today. Many thousands of them may not fully recover months after. More infections mean more Long Covid. Let’s make #CountLongCovid trend before 19 July. If you have it, tweet your message with this #️⃣. What do you want to say to the world?

@livingnexisting This is spot on

Here he describes more what it feels to have 'fatigue'. It's not just feeling tired. "I am not a lazy individual. I am not someone who likes to be inside. I am someone who pushes through in training...".
