LOCKDOWNS..
Not a single mention that COVID is causing eye issues in children..
So obviously no mention about preventing COVID to protect children's eye health.

#LongCovidKids
Yesterday my 12 year old son asked if I thought he would be able to get hired for a job when he's older if he wears a mask to a job interview. It brought up a lot of questions.
Mask discrimination is a thing now.
@USEEOC
@USDOL
what is being done to address this?
#Paxlovid
was prescribed to me during reinfection..
I took on about day 8 of symptoms due to lack of availability in Jan.
..Yes, it was out of the use within the 3-5 day recommended guideline.
IT STILL WORKED FOR ME & HELPED ME GET RELIEF IN
#LongCovid
SYMPTOMS TOO!!
As voted by the Long COVID community--
International Long COVID Awareness month will be the month of March with the International Long COVID Awareness Day being March 15th!
🧵
This disease is so politicized-- It has turned many people's fam/friends on them--when they need support most.
(txt msg below is from a family member)
& I STILL WON'T STOP TALKING ABOUT COVID/LONG COVID.
People want to ignore the truth & pretend everything is okay.
I CANNOT.
To Everyone in
#LongCovid
groups on Twitter/FB/Everywhere--Please share the Long COVID Awareness ribbon & date/month with all that are suffering/every support group INTERNATIONALLY!
With your help we can all unite globally to spread our message/awareness to the the world!
🧵
After much thought & discussion-- We are moving ahead with the Poll Awareness Colors selected by the
#LongCovid
community.
This will unify us internationally
as we work together to continue our efforts to raise awareness & make the best possible impact!♡
Today my dad told me--"If I want my life back-- I have to take it back"
..Like I haven't been trying to take it back for 2.5yrs..!! 🤦🏽♀️🤬😒
Ughhhh
#LongCovid
#MECFS
I have LONG COVID.
It is what it is..
#LongCovid
--
I got sick with a COVID infection in early 2020-- and never recovered.
I have had symptoms every day, every minute, every second since.
Due to my symptoms I cannot live my normal daily life like my pre-COVID days.
#COVID19
Scientists instead of using your time to create a new deadly Covid strain with an 80% kill rate-- YOU SHOULD BE CREATING OR FINDING A CURE FOR LONG COVID!!!
#COVID19
#LONGCOVID
COVID KILLS! COVID DESTROYS!
I miss exercising, volunteering, hiking, driving, working, showering, dancing, friends/fam, adventures--I miss life!
I miss being the mom that I was more than anything.
Long Covid stole my life.
#ConfrontLongCovid
#LongCovidAwarenessDay
#LongCovid
I have received a few msgs asking how I'm feelin.
Quick update:
Yesterday marked 2 wks since my last dose of Paxlovid.
Last week was my best week in 2yrs. I'm not out joggin or dancin yet, but I'm slowly improving.
#paxlovid
#longcovid
(Thread)
Pretty sure Paxlovid saved me.
It's been 1 week since last dose.
Turned my reinfection mild after 24hrs.
My LC symptoms are improving (maybe cuz reinfection or antiviral or both). Only time will tell.. See how things are in a mth, 6mths & yr from now.🤞🏼🙏🏼
#PAXLOVID
#COVID19
Case report of a
#LongCovid
patient, sick for 7 months, whose symptoms completely resolved after taking Paxlovid.
Paxlovid is one of the most obvious drugs for a Long Covid clinical trial - why isn't it happening?
When
#LongCovid
clinics are applying for funding for acupuncture & mindfulness-or recommending music-- We have no option but to keep trying all the supplements/meds/therapies on our own.
Fund Medication trials--
Meditation is not a cure for us.
@NickGuthe
Never ever in my life ever thought about suicide.
Til I got stuck in Long Covid early 2020.
For about 8 months I struggled with not ending my life of
#LongCovid
misery.
Things still get rough.. but it has gotten betterish for so many.
It's so hard to see things can improve
All these articles about long colds.. I've had many colds even long colds & flu-- those symptoms were nothing as severe as COVID for me--
My brain & heart (whole body) never did all this w/ any cold.
I was 38yrs old! In my prime.
#LongCovid
=Hellish misery.
NOT A COLD.

Looking for the
#LongCovid
social media frame?
Need ribbon graphics to make awareness items?
Want to purchase merch for
#LongCovidAwarenessDay
?
Now you can find it all in one place!
I went to the cardiologist. It was crowded. No one was masked. I left without having my heart checked & recieving care.
Sick people go to doctor offices & hospitals. EVERYONE SHOULD BE MASKED TO PROTECT EACH OTHER.
Do no harm has turned into--
Do more harm.💔
#LongCovid
#Covid
When they say "rates of severe COVID may be staying at relatively low levels"--
Don't forget 90% of people living with Long Covid initially experienced mild illness with COVID--
#COVID
#LongCovid
#LongCovidAwareness
It's one thing if you had a job since people started masking (then dropping masks) and you continue to mask. It's a completely different thing when you're applying for a new job where people are not masking.
@NickGuthe
When we are stuck in the depths of LC Hell.
If you are reading this keep holding on. Be part of a support group and know we are all here for you.
You cannot be denied employment, harassed, demoted, terminated, paid less, or treated less favorably because of your race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or status as a protected veteran.
😷what if you mask?
@USDOL
I will talk about
#LongCovid
as long as I have a voice or can type– until the day I die.
My family has been hit too hard by
#COVID
& I have seen too many lives destroyed– to not speak up about the truth and destruction.
THAT'S WHY
#LongCovidAwareness
@TrishtheDish_7
I have LC and 2 children that are Long Haulers.
The reason many don't know anyone is you are busy living your life and haven't been impacted, like some of my family members. Visit one of our timelines..they are filled with other long haulers, many have been suffering for 2yrs.
Today is day 1,427 of
#LongCovid
for me.
I've had symptoms every single day, every single minute for 1,427 days.
THERE'S NO CURE--
Protect yourself & others from COVID!😷
Long Covid can happen to anyone.💔

Of course we talked about working from home/remote jobs/different jobs that might be a possibility for him look into.
He still has a few years before he will be working any job, but there are people facing this today.
@RepRashida
It means so much when our leaders that we voted for say & do what is right for the people.
Wish gov/leaders were saying this all over the globe--& putting those words to action.
Thank you💛👏🏽
I wish that for every Long Covid study that came out--that a trial of a MEDICATION or THERAPY that might really treat Long Covid had to happen too.
While their off doing studies people are suffering an unimaginable hell.
#LongCovid
I ain't playin when I say give a box of
#Paxlovid
to every person with
#LongCovid
, & see what happens..
Some could get better!! Which is better than what's happening right now..
Sure there's risks..
DOING SOMETHING IS BETTER THAN NOT TRYING ANYTHING TO GET OUT OF MISERY!!

@PeterSweden7
I think many factors..
Less people wanting to have kids due to craziness in world, cost to live in world, damage done to world.
More people sick whether due to covid, long covid and vax damage. All off that can impact fertility for everyone & chronic illness=no energy for sex.
@MrkStdngr
Everything is not alright..
Mark, there's one thing I know.. Some of us were right there where you are, felt life was over. Somehow our bodies have mended over time.. Some meds/supplements/therapies helped some maybe pick up the pace on some kind of relief.
@TheLewisBlack
💔Hope you get better-- I've been sick for 205 weeks since COVID infection.
Protect yourself and your audience,they don't got cures for what's goin around.😷
I watched
@LCDC
with my kids.
The wind might try to knock down the signs.. but we heard your words!
Thank you for pushing through to represent for all of us!💞
We had a little chant going here in our home..
"WE ARE LIVID!
WE HAVE LONG COVID!
✊🏾✊🏻✊🏼😷
COVID is still controlling my life.
It's consumed my family's lives.
It's controlling the lives of all those suffering with
#LongCovid
.
Mad as hell about the lack of help & protection from our governments. Shame on every person that has been part of the problem.
#COVID
@POTUS
Under the laws enforced by EEOC, it is illegal to discriminate against someone (applicant or employee) because of that person's race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older)
@aspoonielife
💔
I am thinking of you extra right now.
Sending love and want you to know you can DM anytime-- if it would help to have some of us to reach out to at random times.
As for me and my house we call it
#LongCovid
You will only confuse people more if you try to "rebrand" it..
I'm not even sure your maskless selves understand how it works.
We got COVID and didn't get better/Or thought we were better, but weren't.
Stop the one name campaign--
disability or genetic information. It is also illegal to retaliate against a person because he or she complained about discrimination, filed a charge of discrimination, or participated in an employment discrimination investigation or lawsuit.
🤬Such nonsense!
Some of us will soon be at 3yrs of DEBILITATING hell..
《Those suffering from
#LongCovid
will get better in time and people should not panic over news that the number of Long Covid patients is on the rise, a top virologist said》
Tollovid Update:
I know Tollovid has been quite the topic in our
#LongCovid
world.
So here is the shortest version of my experience. Gonna keep it 💯.
No sugar coating it for anyone.
I HAVE:
LESS POISON/MUTATING FEELING
& MY MAIN IMPROVEMENT
LESS FATIGUE!!
I feel healing🎉

U.S. government to test Pfizer's Paxlovid for long COVID
If they do this right-- Many might see significant improvement.
It definitely helped me!

@risahoshinoMD
I have had Long Covid over 2yrs & lost many "friends" 💔
They didn't believe Long Covid was real(including my family) -They don't want to talk to a person this ill -I'm boring cuz I stay home except for medical appts mostly.
I did find real friends in Long Covid Support Group.💛
Throughout the month of March & more specifically on March 15th we will raise Long Covid awareness together across the globe by wearing shirts, changing profile pics & whatever we can do to team up & increase awareness about Long COVID--Those impacted, prevention & how to help.
"I'm sure long COVID is associated with suicidal thoughts, with suicide attempts, with suicide plans and the risk of suicide death. We just don't have epidemiological data," said Leo Sher, a psychiatrist
#LongCovid
"Long C deserves the same sense of urgency, focus, funding and communication as the acute form of the disease. What is needed now is an aggressive focus on treatment of long C to overcome the potential physical, emotional and economic impacts"
#LongCovid
That 2 week thing they said was WAY off..
Feb. 18th, 2020
The day the horrific debilitating fatigue slammed in along with so many miserable symptoms that took over my life-- 3 YEARS AGO..
🧵
#LongCovid
Telling me to go live my life maskless in the COVID is kind of like telling a person with lung cancer from smoking to go smoke cigarettes.. What is wrong with these people?!
#LongCovid
@sanj971
@MsahWu
This isn't about comfortable.
It's about not killing & debilitating people.
I could care less if you floss.. That impacts you. Not masking impacts you & OTHERS!!
From now on the majority of any of my money donated will go directly to individuals suffering
#LongCovid
,
#chronicillness
& other sufferings.
I need to know I'm actually helping people that NEED it!
I'll keep donating to organizations proving that they really help people.💚
Global Governments--
WE DEMAND MORE!
Your email box being disrupted by 600 emails does not matter more than the lives of millions. I've been sick for 1,427 days. I have children and a life that have been disrupted. I WANT MY LIFE BACK!
I WANT MY KIDS TO BE PROTECTED!
#LongCovid
Hear this recording & act. LCAP emails from pwLC will stop when the

#NoCureNoPeace
🆘
@MatthewJDalby
Absolutely absurd..
That's like saying we shouldn't bring condoms into STD advocacy..
Why would you not talk about prevention when talking about Long Covid? Prevention is how you save lives.
More people will probably mask if they keep getting sick or end up with Long Covid.
@MrkStdngr
You rest, be kind to yourself & know we are all thinking of you & each other struggling through this Hell.
I am hoping & praying healing comes your way!
I don't know everyone's trajectory with this, but I am keeping hope.
I know healing can happen, we've seen it. I feel it.💛

@nihceal
And what about my heart issues, SOB, pain from head to toes, FATIGUE, the migraine that never goes away, nausea 24/7, etc??
What about all the very physical sx people with
#LongCovid
are suffering from?
The physical sx are why most of us have so many mental & emotional issues🤦🏽♀️
This pandemic is causing so many lives to be torn apart.
Lives Lost.
Financial Hardships.
Chronic Illness.
Broken relationships.
Hate.
Stress.
Isolation.
Depression.
Madness.
Ravaging Everything..
So consuming..
The heartbreak is too much.💔

Another casual destruction caused by chronic illness. I'm getting a divorce. Wife is leaving me because she can't handle me sick anymore. She wants a life without sickness. I cannot make it happen.

@mildanalyst
So what you're saying is adults can get it..
But kids can't get it..
Masks aren't needed..
And you can't give it to your pets..
People should quarentine for 2wks..or 10 days..or 5..or none..
Oh wait..people should wear masks..
And it'll only last for 2wks..
Right?
🤦🏽♀️
Not everyone that treats it, beats it..
There's people that treated it-- and still ended up with
#LongCovid
.
Don't play in the
#Covid
it's not fun to take such a risk.
This is the type of asinine messaging we’re up against. No masks. No quarantine. No organ damage, brain fog or disabling fatigue.
Just vibes & good times!
I tried Nattokinase,Serrapeptase, Lumbrokinase a year ago--it helped.
Tried it again recently--felt like I was about to die w/in 2 days of starting it again. Some symptoms similar to brain embolism.
I got off all 3 supplements by day 3 & now back at baseline.
#LongCovid
@MeetJess
It's so hard not to assume Covid is taking people earlier than they had to go.. I mean we know anything coulda caused this.. Until they tell us I just assume It's all Covid related which I know I shouldn't..but again hard not to.
Heard some of you and other familiar voices in our community at the

THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORDS & SHARING YOUR STORIES--YOU ALL REPRESENTED FOR US TODAY!👏🏼✊🏼💛

They got it ALL wrong..
I definitely wouldn't be taking my mask off to talk to them. Healthcare workers are around all the sick people.
None of the staff are masked. It's ridiculous.
Shame on this and shame on healthcare doing this in real life.
Protect yourself😷
@MeetJess
So I guess they're okay with letting children with TB attend class..
This is exactly why some of us have been doing homeschool--
Schools are not protecting kids!
