Great start to Rehabilitation Science Research Network for COVID
Thank you Mark Faghy for all that you do! 🙌 #LongCOVID #PESE #SafeRehab #LongCOVID AHPs

Wonderful first day in Toronto 🇨🇦 even though it rained (a lot).. now time to get down to work with the wonderful Rehabilitation Science Research Network for COVID group.

I might need an extra coffee as my body clock had me up at 4 am (local time) but it will be worth it!

Always a pleasure to listen and learn from Mark Faghy. Read these results & I can't help but think how many children are being forced to attend school while unwell. 😒
How many CYP are masking to please caregivers?
How will it impact their future? #LongCovid

Mark Faghy Phenomenal overview of #PEM
We can tolerate certain levels of stimuli, but if we breach that threshold, symptoms are triggered. This can include even routine activities.

POWERFUL case study from Nisa Malli

Wow.. just wow!!

Rehabilitation Science Research Network for COVID Patient-Led Research Collaborative

Mark Faghy Rehabilitation must be interdisciplinary (not multidisciplinary) and personalized to each patient!

In his keynote yesterday, Mark Faghy spoke about the need to find all the puzzle pieces 🧩 for #LongCOVID . Hearing about the ongoing efforts of people with lived experiences, researchers, and clinicians at yesterday’s Forum shows that it is possible!

One of the few people who not only does what he says he does - but he explains why he does it!
Mark Faghy has won the trust of people living with Long Covid - he understands because he learnt that listening to people with LC is pivotal to research about LC.
Thanks Mark 😷

Join me in participating in the Rehabilitation Science Research Network for COVID Forum today.

It includes a great lineup of speakers and sessions, including this keynote session by Mark Faghy on 'Unlocking the Mysteries of #PEM in #LongCovid '.

If you are working on this as well, let us know how we can all collaborate.

Just when you think the world couldn't get any more idiotic...

Then you see this from the the RACGP.

This is what we are up against... =/

No words...

Listening to the brilliant Jessica DeMars at the Rehabilitation Science Research Network for COVID in Toronto!!

Setting out the science & the facts that #longcovid is NOT deconditioning nor is it psychomatic or kinesiophobia.

Great insight & recommendations on how to recognise LC in practice!

Inspirational 🙏🏼
