Thinking of 2.5 years ago, when I laced up my runners for interval training right after mild covid. Raising my HR to the max. I did that 3 days a week without problems until I suddenly collapsed and I've been bedridden ever since. I wish I'd known where I was running myself into.

Is it possible that covid lies dormant and reactivates under certain circumstances? I tested positive 3 novembers in a row since long covid, with barely leaving the house and never not masking.

Question, do you know anybody who is still covid conscious? More than 1 or 2? Even my most invested friends aren't anymore. And I don't blame them. It's hard to keep up. To me it seems like a lost battle.

A guy went to a hospital to donate healthy blood for a LC study. 'I participe because my wife has long covid', he explained at the counter. 'Well, I hope she's is quarantining and not here with you!' they replied. Just a little example of where we are in terms of knowledge.

Most of us say or have said (me included): 'Crashing hard today but had a lot of fun yesterday so worth it!' Is it though? Is continuously triggering PEM by doing a 'worth it' thing really worth the long term/permanent decline? Considering what we know.

People want you to be positive so THEY can deal with YOUR illness. Most have no idea about ME pathology and how slim the chances are of a miraculeus recovery. And even if they knew they'd still expect you to vain a positive attitude. I find this quite unpleasant.

I've been sliding in and out of very severe LC/ME for 3 years now and starting to lose hope. Is there still reason to believe a cure is coming? And if so, what are those reasons? Could use a nice and firm straw to hold onto.

long covid is a great name and served a purpose. But it also keeps the condition vague. What conditions did you develop post covid? MCAS? Dysautonomia? HEDS? ME? We need to be examined for these conditions and treat them. 'You have long covid' is idle.

Nobody will understand how ME can be so horrific and all consuming because they don't realise they have an autonomic nervous system, and thus have no idea what happens when that starts to malfunction. If only we could somehow show.

They speak up as much as their illness allows and, because of their numbers, and because they were in a global mass-event, they get more media and political attention in a few years than you have had in the past few decades.

Just to be clear. This is not about ME vs LC, not in pathology and not in perception or in experience. This is about the history of illnesses that follows infection or remaining infection or whatever it is. We all need research and treatment.

@JulianBushoff @PvdA @groenlinks @FNVZorg_Welzijn @LongCovidNL @NietHersteld @Longfonds @KinderenLC @LongCovidNLPasc @riendebock @JimFaas In de tussentijd blijft Kuipers bagatelliseren met dit soort opmerkingen. Of hij doet het bewust, of hij weet niet waar die over spreekt. 90K ernstig, 400K beperkt. 100K niet beperkt = verminderd reukvermogen. Begroot aub wat bijles voor hem.

My GP used the word deconditioning after I described how I got worse after a 2nd infection and I cut him off: no, it's #longcovid ! and now i am gaslighting myself into thinking my temper has caused my symptoms 🌀

Deel 3 van deze nachtmerrie: UWV heeft zaak bekeken en beoordeeld dat (bedgebonden) patiënt het belastbaarheidsonderzoek moet ondergaan. Waar eerst sprake was van weglaten fysieke onderzoeken zijn deze alsnog verplicht gesteld. 1/4

Verpleegkundige met #LongCovid en ernstige PEM wordt door werkgever gedwongen om voor belastbaarheidsonderzoek op locatie meerdere afspraken van paar uur te ondergaan. Bij aanhoudende weigering wordt nu gedreigd haar loon in te houden. Wat zijn reëel haar opties?

The psychosomatic stigma of #MECFS in popular culture: In the first episode of the hospital dramaseries 'House' from 2004, doctor House treats a patient who claims to suffer from #CFS with mints from the vending machine.

Calling for help for a good friend with severe LC. She is being forced by her employer to undergo the fitness test at a physio as well as psychological essesment and bloodwork. She has severe PEM and can't do any of this. What is the best way to make her employer understand?

I think we should at least reconsider this as a go to phrase or excuse for doing a worth it thing. As dr. Ronald W. Davis said: triggering pem reactivates the illness.

Ik vond het zelf heel erg moeilijk om dit terug te lezen: is deze nachtmerrie echt mijn verhaal? In het volledige stuk ga nog in op ME, het uitblijven van daadkrachtig optreden overheid, eenzaamheid en de ondraaglijkheid van zware ME/LC. 1/2

don't know how long it will last but since I started #TheNicotineTest these are my Garmin stats when sitting up. Previously the stress level would have been 50+ and HR 70+. Also less to no brain PEM. I do expect it to collapse soon, as everything I've tried eventually has.
