attempting to bring awareness to long covid and post viral illnesses as a whole. also a lover of history, politics, languages and the Terps, Ravens and O’s.
You have to realize long covid gets so little media coverage and the suffering as patients is unbearable. So when we see a major feature on it and it’s wasted on a pseudoscientific interventions that help psychologize the illness, you can’t begin to imagine how painful and dangerous that is for the community. Maybe you should bear that in mind just a little and not play the victim here.
Millions of Americans live with infection-associated chronic conditions and illnesses, including long COVID, ME/CFS, and Lyme disease–associated chronic symptoms; conditions that are often debilitating, misunderstood, and under-recognized.
In a new Clinical Infectious Diseases viewpoint, CAPT Iskander and Dr. Haridopolos of the Office of the U.S. Surgeon General call for making these “invisible illnesses” visible through patient-centered care, stronger surveillance, multidisciplinary management, and continued research investment.
The article emphasizes the importance of validating patients’ lived experiences while advancing evidence-informed care to improve outcomes for people living with these complex chronic conditions.
@CreedWillems@Ravens Im not sure what you’re arguing. Vaccine injury obviously exists, but so do conditions directly from the virus. It’s logical that both would happen since the vaccine actually mimics the virus and causes the immune system to act similarly. Both are real.
@SimiValleyGuru@Timodc@EWErickson There is nothing moral about Collins and what she has done to abet Trump while pretending to remain aloof and lacking any responsibility
@m3lt_ice@RoKhanna Your name is ‘melt ice’. It’s not clear if you’re actually for dismantling it or would just like to subject it to dangerously high temperatures. Can you please go on the record?
@JackHadfield14 Hey Jack, super impressed with everything and very grateful for all your work. Just wondering if there are any efforts underway to make the tests more affordable and accessible to certain populations. Are you guys still taking donations or seeking any kind of outside funding?
People don’t realise how much you can lose and still have to live every hour.
I’ve lost walking, my brain, normal vision, friends, food, music, love, career, hobbies, sunlight, sleep…
I can’t even grieve it without getting sicker.
Disease takes more than you realise you had.
@WalshFreedom@CynthiaDPorter You’ve evolved on other issues, but you remain a caveman when it comes to Israel. These talking points are so tired. Get out of your bubble and talk to some actual Palestinians for once.
