Sorry to report that musician and poet James Strazza passed away this week. He had been suffering from severe ME since 2019. Condolences to family and friends.🕯️🕊️💙 (There's a link to his website in his Twitter bio.) #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #MECFS
Please support my dear friend @jamesstrazza . A very severe #pwME who wrote an outstanding book full of stunning poems dedicated to those who are in search of meaning! #MECFS
Has anyone in the #longcovid space have any experience with antibiotics? Was on antibiotics for 2 weeks for a tooth infection and now my symptoms have worsened now i am off them.

People who’ve never been chronically ill massively overestimate how much wellness hacks ‘cure disease.’
Sun, sauna, fasting, carnivore, peptides, supplements, yoga, etc
They’re optimization advice for healthy people. They rarely cure anything for the severely ill.

Adults forced a young girl named “Cara” to remove her mask for their comfort.
Cara’s mother had cancer and was immune compromised.
Cara caught covid, gave it to her mom and her mom died.
Imagine doing that to a child because you don’t want to see a mask?
It’s appalling.

My Covid infection 3 years ago was so “mild” that one could have easily mistaken it for a cold.
That I’m now, 3 years later, terminally ill due to the effects of it, should be a very scary sign, especially considering my young age and healthy lifestyle prior to it.
How many more are out there just like me, unaware of what’s happening to their health or what’s causing it ?
Scary to think about.

Before their Covid infection, our members were free to choose how they used each heartbeat.
Now, #LongCovid limits what they can use each beat for.
The change from before to after is obvious

Five years ago, I lost my life to Long Covid and I never got it back.

I was improving from another illness and walking four miles a day when I caught Covid in July 2020. I took my n95 off for 30 seconds to take my temp at a doctor
I’ve never been able to take a long walk since and I suffer flu like symptoms most days since #longcovidawarenessday
Sharing my own story on #LongCovidAwarenessDay, my one infection in June 2022, just a month after I had gotten a new job, began my health spiral that lead to me being unable to work full time & spending my energy clawing my health back. I was “young & healthy”, but unbeknownst to

Long Covid affects people of all ages and includes a myriad of post-acute and long-term adverse health effects caused by the infection.
A 2024 #SciencePerspective highlighted the efforts made to understand this public health concern, what is known about the condition, and its wide-reaching effects on the risk of developing other chronic diseases.
Despite increasing knowledge of the mechanisms, epidemiology, and prevention, several challenges remain. First, the care needs of people experiencing Long Covid are consistently not met, and patients are often met with skepticism and dismissal of symptoms. Second, the lack of consensus on terms, definitions, and clinical trial endpoints for Long Covid, as well as the lack of animal models that can capture the breadth of Long Covid phenotype, are slowing progress and hampering the discovery of drugs that could improve patient health.
Addressing these challenges would not only provide insights into Long Covid but also other infection-associated chronic illnesses that have underappreciated long-term health impacts like myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).

So many have lost their careers, their livelihoods, many are fighting for financial supports. In Ireland Long COVID is still not recognised as an Occupational illness by the Irish government, despite numerous requests.

Today is #LongCovidAwarenessDay. I have been ill with #LongCovid for 6 years now. My life is unrecognisable from what it was. Still no treatments, hardly any research and very little support. We will never shut up about this until that changes.
