Long COVID thoughts:

“I shot some hoops 🏀 today for the first time in forever. I hope that doesn’t cause me to die in my sleep later. I’d hate to wake up tomorrow dead, I have a lot to do. 🙏🏽”

The life cycle:

1. I’m going for a walk.
2. *Crash* I feel like I’m dying. I’ll never get better.
3. I lay on my couch reading long Covid research desperate to get better.
4. I go a week without crashing and gradually feel a little better.
5. I’m going for a walk.

There is not only a moral argument, but an economic one to

1. Invest in biomedical research to cure to help get ppl back to work, and

2. Invest in to prevent further cases and associated ill health

This data is I think one of the most important findings in ME/CFS and ME/CFS-like long Covid research

It shows that the S1 spike protein subunit can cause mitochondrial fragmentation, part of the 'mitochondrial pathogen response'

The nastiest thing about or chronic illness post-virus, like after EBV, is the average onlooker expects extreme symptoms.

I had no idea that it would be a slow burn that would creep on me for over a year until I'm stuck in bed on a heart monitor.

What cancer and neurology have that doesn’t is funding. If its funding matched its enormous disease burden, the researchers would follow. And when they come, they will have countless fascinating research questions to work on.

They are changing my bp meds too to help regulate my bp & tachycardia more. Really hope this helps.

Happy to have docs listen today & not jump towards dismissal.

Also happy my docs both were wearing n95s. Hell yeah.

4/4
