Robot Diver<p>My friend sent me this today from an amazing snowshoe camping trip we took in 2016. </p><p>MECFS has altered my life in such a massive way that I'm sometimes at a loss for words. I would have easily hiked 80-100km in a weekend in spite of some heavy fibromyalgia symptoms back then. Now I'm happy when i can make it around the block.</p><p>That being said, I'm not the only one. I have another friend in this photo with a degenerative disorder, and I was worried my hiking buddies would disappear when i got sick and came out as trans. But they are still here and I know how rare that is. </p><p>I miss the alpine, I miss the plants, I miss the peace and the beautiful reset it gave my audhd each time, i miss the bonding with my friends, but this photo reminds me that you have to love each moment to its fullest because you never know what's right around the corner and I'm so glad I did.</p><p><a href="https://starlite.rodeo/tags/mecfs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mecfs</span></a> <a href="https://starlite.rodeo/tags/longCovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>longCovid</span></a> <a href="https://starlite.rodeo/tags/alpine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>alpine</span></a> <a href="https://starlite.rodeo/tags/backcountry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>backcountry</span></a> <a href="https://starlite.rodeo/tags/hiking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hiking</span></a></p>

Shantell Powell<p>I have a much harder time thinking these days. There are times I'm so tired that when I go to talk, I speak gibberish. I forget words all the time. Trying to find the word is like dragging my brain through a glue trap. I have a hard time reading any one thing for very long. I'm glad I can still write coherently, but I don't seem able to write much after supper. I'm also finding that I have an extremely hard time concentrating on much of anything after supper. I'm afraid I'll have to stop signing up for online evening classes because I can barely stay alert during them. It feels an awful lot like when I had mono back in 1989. <a href="https://c.im/tags/LongCovidAwarenessDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongCovidAwarenessDay</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/LongCovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongCovid</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Covid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Covid</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/BrainFog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BrainFog</span></a></p>
Shantell Powell<p>As far as I know, I've only had COVID once. It was a "mild" case. It didn't feel any worse than a cold and a bit of a sore throat for me. And even though I was fully vaccinated, took Paxlovid right away, and rested very very hard for three months (going to bed whenever I felt even the slightest bit tired), I still ended up with long COVID. I was strong and healthy before. I trained five days a week at the gym and yoga studio and hiked on weekends. </p><p>I'm scared shitless about getting COVID again. I'm one of the very few people I know who still masks regularly. <a href="https://c.im/tags/LongCovidAwarenessDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongCovidAwarenessDay</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/LongCovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongCovid</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Covid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Covid</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/MaskUp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MaskUp</span></a></p>

Shantell Powell<p>I was an athlete for years. I did fitness competitions, trail running, mountain running, obstacle course races, interprovincial bicycling, hiking, and martial arts. I was a professional dancer, an aerialist, a model, and a LARPer. These days, I spend the vast majority of my time sitting down. I go to the gym a couple of times a week and try to go for walks every day, but if I exert too much or think too hard for too long, I'm exhausted. </p><p>This is not the normal feeling of being tired after a grueling workout. It's not a mind over matter thing. It's the kind of fatigue you feel when you're sick or dealing with a nasty injury. <a href="https://c.im/tags/LongCovidAwarenessDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongCovidAwarenessDay</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/LongCovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongCovid</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/PostExertionalMalaise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PostExertionalMalaise</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ChronicIllness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChronicIllness</span></a></p>
Broadwaybabyto<p>It’s International Long Covid Awareness Day, and my latest article looks at the reasons why people believe they don’t know anyone with Long Covid. </p><p>We desperately need increased visibility into this debilitating chronic illness so that we can raise awareness and fund treatments, mitigations and cures. </p><p>Anyone can get Long Covid. It’s not limited to ‘only the vulnerable’ or those who had a severe initial infection. </p><p>This disease does not discriminate. Even people with asymptomatic initial infections have found themselves disabled by Long Covid. </p><p>It’s time we start processing the trauma of the pandemic and stop living in denial. </p><p>We are in the middle of a mass disabling event, and the longer it takes us to admit that, the more people will be harmed.</p><p>Let’s spread the word that the only way to avoid Long Covid is to avoid getting Covid in the first place. </p><p>Wear a mask. Stay home when sick. Clean and ventilate the air. </p><p>When we all agree to care about the air we share, we can begin to bring about real change.</p><p><a href="https://www.disabledginger.com/p/i-dont-know-anyone-with-long-covid" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">disabledginger.com/p/i-dont-kn</span><span class="invisible">ow-anyone-with-long-covid</span></a></p><p><a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/longcovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>longcovid</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/longcovidawarenessday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>longcovidawarenessday</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/covidisairborne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>covidisairborne</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/covidisnotover" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>covidisnotover</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/sarscov2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sarscov2</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/chronicillness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chronicillness</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/wearamask" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wearamask</span></a></p>

Aber bisher gibt's für die These nur wenig wissenschaftliche Evidenz - dafür so manches, das gegen sie spricht. Und nicht nur das. Es ist auch eine Diskussion, von der wir wenig zu gewinnen haben.

Broadwaybabyto<p>Today marks the five year anniversary of Covid being declared a pandemic. Some things I want people to remember: </p><p>The threat is not gone. People are still dying and becoming disabled every single day </p><p>COVID is airborne. It’s always been airborne. Droplet transmission was pushed incorrectly &amp; then doubled down on for economic reasons. If governments admit it’s airborne, they have to spend money upgrading air quality and providing respirators etc. </p><p>The only way to avoid Long Covid is to not get Covid. </p><p>A well fitted respirator like an N95 offers excellent personal protection </p><p>Mask mandates belong in healthcare </p><p>If you’re not masking for your patient, you’re abdicating your responsibility to do no harm </p><p>It costs nothing to open a window and it will improve ventilation and reduce odds of viral spread. Air purifiers work well too</p><p>COVID is a social justice issue. Masks, tests, air filters, paid time off… these things all cost money. The disease disproportionately impacts those who are most vulnerable and multiple marginalized </p><p>Repeat infections don’t make you stronger. They don’t give you immunity. They actually harm your brain, heart and immune system. They’re also NOT inevitable </p><p>Kids are harmed by COVID too. They need the adults to protect them. We need clean in schools and on school buses </p><p>We went “back to normal” for capitalism. It wasn’t because it was safe. It wasn’t because there was a cure. Governments and those in power Are willing to sacrifice us to keep end stage capitalism afloat a little longer </p><p>Repeat infections are NOT inevitable. We can still curb the spread. We don’t have to accept constant sickness and disability as our new normal. </p><p>May we be in a much better place five years from now than we are today. </p><p>If you know someone suffering from Long Covid, reach out to them. Ask them how you can support them. Remind them they’ve not been forgotten. Wear a mask for them. They are counting on you. </p><p><a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/covidisairborne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>covidisairborne</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/covidisnotover" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>covidisnotover</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/sarscov2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sarscov2</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/longcovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>longcovid</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/chronicillness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chronicillness</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/pandemic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pandemic</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/longcovidawarenessweek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>longcovidawarenessweek</span></a></p>
