Habe gerade "Prinzessin Insomnia & der albtraumhaften Nachtmahr" ausgelesen.
Es hat mir sehr gut gefallen und geholfen beim Sortieren meiner Gedanken. Da es von jemandem mit ME/CFS inspiriert wurde, könnten viele mit oder ohne #LongCovid etwas mitnehmen vom Lesen des Buchs. #bookstodon#Zamonien
Reports coming in from all over the world, patients with severe lung scarring, some of whom presented rheumatologic symptoms -- rashes, arthritis, muscle pain -- that often accompany interstitial lung disease. MDA5-autoimmunity and Interstitial Pneumonitis Contemporaneous with COVID-19, or MIP-C for short.
"From May 6 to 12, CDC will light the Atlanta Visitor Center in blue to recognize ME/CFS International Awareness Day. We are honored to have people with ME/CFS and their caregivers join us to kick off this event."
STUDY finds that older individuals can greatly reduce #LongCOVID risk by getting BOTH influenza and #COVID19 vaccines. "Those vaccinated with neither COVID-19 nor influenza vaccine had higher risk of long COVID (OR, 1.72; 95% CI, 1.26-2.35) compared to those vaccinated with both vaccines." (That means a 72% higher risk.)
"Über die Abwehr von #LongCovid als sozialpolitische Frage, die Moral der Pandemiepolitik, die Niederlage der instrumentellen Vernunft und die Aufgaben einer humanen Gegenrationalität."
Danke an Paul Schuberth für diesen Text!

Long Covid can impact "everyone, regardless of age or the severity of one’s original symptoms.³ The largest group of people living with Long COVID is younger than one might think. According to the CDC, U.S. adults ages 35-49 had the highest rates of Long COVID symptoms . . . Plus, a recent study showed that by one’s third COVID-19 infection, patients have a 40% chance of developing long term symptoms"
Ärztinnen, Physiotherapeutinnen, Psychotherapeutinnen, Menschen, die mit #LongCovid und #MECFS Patientinnen zu tun haben: Nächste Woche gibt es eine kostenlose zweitägige Konferenz mit den Top-Spezialist*innen für dieses Krankheitsbild. Es werden auch Fortbildungspunkte anerkannt. Vielleicht mögt ihr ja teilnehmen, oder es weitersagen! https://unitetofight2024.world/
Yesterday I had not much to say. But that doesn’t mean I don’t have much to feel. And it all feels bad out there lately. (“Waves hand generally,” younger folks would say on Reddit.)
Today it has hit me in the stomach real hard that irreparable damage has been done to the lives of millions of people by this destructive and insidious virus that causes #Covid. And that’s not just from people with #LongCovid but also those of who still know #CovidIsNotOver and #CovidIsAirborne and all that shit.
“A new study has analysed 26 RATs from Australia and Canada, finding only six could effectively detect the lowest concentrations of COVID-19… Researchers from James Cook University (JCU) say they were left ‘shocked’ after an analysis of 26 RATs from Australia and Canada found just six were effective at detecting the lowest concentration of COVID-19. One Canadian test failed to detect the COVID-19 protein entirely at any level of concentration… the six best performing RATs included the Canadian-approved BTNX Cassette, Flowflex, Medsup,... Fanttest, Innoscreen, and Juschek… BTNX, PCL, Medriva, Medomics, PanBio (Australia), PanBio (Canada), SDBiosensor, StandardQ, and Touchbio [are] the least responsive tests.”
New: Cases surging globally (again), KP.2 FLiRT variant dominant in US “defies vaccines,” FDA postpones vaccine meeting, Moderna warns LC risk rises w/each infection, tests rated from best to worst, WHO knew it was airborne, hospital acquired infection = nearly 1 death/day in AU, and more.
“New data shows thousands of patients caught COVID in Victorian public hospitals in the past two years — and hundreds died… Almost one in 10 patients who caught COVID in hospital died… almost six per week, on average.”
Covid News: HBR Long Covid at Work - a managers guide
Quite an compelling look at long covid in the workplace and what can be done if management is willing.
Definitely worth a read.
Of course as always the best way to prevent long covid is to not be infected or do your best to reduce the number of infections. Wear a N95 and watch your air. You want clean air.
"TRPM3 dysfunction in post-COVID-19 condition and ME/CFS participants suggests impairment in ion mobilization and consequently results in Ca 2+ signaling and cell homeostasis disturbance in both diseases. The NTX treatment restored TRPM3 ion channel activity in the post-COVID-19 condition group, facilitating Ca 2+ influx for intracellular signaling pathways."
