It’s nearly 2 years since I got #covid & started my shitty journey. But I’ve had solid #longcovid improvements recently & the crashes have eased off a lot 🙏 To ‘celebrate’ improvements I’ve taken a Bowie classic, Life on Mars, & given it a twist. I give you… Life with SARS

Here’s the annoying thing. I was perfectly healthy when I caught covid last year. I now have a permanent heart condition because of it. Which means if I catch covid again and it kills me, people will say, ‘Oh yeah but he had an underlying condition!’ #LongCovid

When I first saw my GP re #longcovid he told me about post-viral illness and how complex it was. He then said ‘Even though I can’t help much I can assure you your symptoms are real. If anyone tells you they’re in your head, just ignore them’ -This was important to hear back then.

A lot of people talk about #longcovid in terms of a list of symptoms. But beyond symptoms there's something else. Like a feeling that something at the very core of your being is fucked. I can't put it more accurately or eloquently. But other #longhaulers will know what I mean.

No matter what anyone tells you, you CANNOT exercise your way out of #longcovid . Why? Because your body doesn’t respond to exercise the way it used to. Exercise will make you worse & will hinder the chance of recovery. Ignore doctors/physios who say otherwise. Retweet please.

My take. #longcovid is not one condition. it’s caused by a combo of: microclotting and endothelial damage, viral persistence, reactivation of old viruses, nerve damage, auto-immune response & more… Unfortunately I don’t think there will ever be a ‘one cure fits all’ solution

Good piece here by an immunologist whose heart bore the brunt of a covid infection. It’s a pity that experts like this guy (with the added benefit of personal experience) seem to be sidelined in mainstream conversations.

Wanna know what else was thought to be psychomatic until the MRI proved otherwise? Multiple Sclerosis. Don't let history repeat itself. #longcovid #MECFS #TreatLongCovid

We don’t know how to effectively treat #longcovid We don’t know what ‘mild’ #covid cases will lead to later in life We don’t know what constant #reinfection will mean We don’t know what the #virus will do next & our Govs happily call this lack of knowledge ‘living with covid’

Going to your GP with #longcovid is like smashing your car into a wall at 100mph then taking it to the guy who changes the oil to see if he can fix it 🙄

Vaccination does not prevent #longcovid Vaccination helps prevent severe acute Covid. But most of us with #longcovid did not have severe acute covid. Most of us were never hospitalised. Many of us were asymptomatic. The only way to avoid #LongCovid is to avoid Covid.

So many people think they are protected from #LongCovid because they are vaccinated - and that is largely the fault of the #MedTwitter establishment. It’s really shameful. People who are on the right side of this really need to start calling out their colleagues.

This is the woman who keeps me on the straight and narrow!!! I’d be so lost without her as I make my way through this shitty #longcovid journey. It’s her birthday today and it’d be fab if some of you wished her all the best for the day that’s in it ❤️🎂😉

As someone affected by #longcovid it still shocks me that #ME sufferers have been going through this experience for decades & still managing against all odds to keep going. If LC has done one thing, it’s opened my eyes to the strength & enduring determination of these people ❤️

I’ve had #longcovid for 15 months. Many days I’ve felt like this. But I’m 49. No matter what happens I’ve lived a life. It absolutely breaks my heart to see young people go through this 😞😞😞 My heart (broken as it is) goes out to Tillie ❤️

@icedrachellatte Yep - noticed plenty people using masks when commuting in Japan a few years back - long before covid.

I initially created my Twitter account to promote a book I wrote. I managed to get about 200 followers! Then I got covid and #longcovid and started tweeting (almost exclusively) about my experience. Today I reached 10,000 followers. This is not a good thing 😞😞

It’s #longcovid awareness day. So what do some idiot journalists do? Minimise & deny #longcovid Thanks for nothing, assholes. I hope those responsible for spreading this narrative end up with Long Covid. Then they won’t be long changing their stupid fucking minds. End of rant.

I'm 49- I've been ill for a year with #longcovid but when I read of kids & teens & young adults with the same affliction, my heart goes out to them. LC is life changing but at least I've lived a life. When you're 9 or 15 or 20 this is the last thing you should have to deal with❤️

I am officially broken. My 15 year old has spent nearly 2 years disabled with #longcovid . He’s double vaccinated, we’ve been shielding and he’s just tested positive for the third time. For him that’s not 2 weeks *mild*. He’s sobbing his heart out 💔

Hey all, let’s have your #LongCovidSelfie … it’s just like a regular selfie only you must place one hand firmly against your forehead (as this is how the media & journalists recognise and portray #longcovid / #ME / #MECFS ) Remember no ‘hand on forehead’, no posting!! 😂😂

It is my fervent hope that #omicron causes less #LongCovid than earlier variants. Its transmissibility is so high that huge numbers of people are bound to catch it. I pray that as few as possible will be left with the after effects that I and many other #longhaulers have been. 🙏

@caslernoel I’m always amazed that there was no big fuss over the way he said ‘take her out’ regarding Yovanovitch. If you want someone fired you don’t use that expression. It really only means one thing.

Question. Does anyone know anyone who thought #longcovid was ‘all in people’s heads’ only to then end up with long covid and realise they were wrong? I’d love to know what happens when the minimisers get hit with this thing themselves!

6/8 I asked if I could relay this story here because I don’t believe enough is being said in the mainstream media (and in our everyday conversations) about the cardiac side of #covid and #longcovid .
