“So I did what the journalist should have done. I went looking for some data. We all know that doctors and nurses and everyone else in healthcare are sicker now than five years ago, right? I mean, you do, don't you? That across all the massive workforce of the NHS, sickness absence rates are now 25% higher than the pre-pandemic average? Right?”

So I did what the journalist should have done. I went looking for some data. We all know that doctors and nurses and everyone else in healthcare are *sicker now than five years ago*, right? I mean, you do, don't you? That across all the massive workforce of the NHS, sickness absence rates are now 25% higher than the pre-pandemic average? Right?

‘We’re losing decades of our life to this illness’: long Covid patients on the fear of being forgotten
“‘We sometimes will see someone who’s had Covid one, two or three times without problems, and then on the fourth time, suddenly they’ve got long Covid, and that makes them ill for a long time.’ The fact there is no lasting immunity to covid should have redefined public health”

Update on my protocol. I spent approx. 2 weeks with a special ChatGPT prompt to create my individual Long Covid & ME/CFS treatment plan. It’s a massive plan with a 4 week introduction phase. After that first real benefits should be visible after 3 months and long lasting benefits…— Marco 🇩🇪🇪🇺🇺🇦 (@Gmwetz) February 26, 2025

“Update on my protocol. I spent approx. 2 weeks with a special ChatGPT prompt to create my individual Long Covid & ME/CFS treatment plan. It’s a massive plan with a 4 week introduction phase. After that first real benefits should be visible after 3 months and long lasting benefits after around 12 months. Maybe it’s risky - but I am declining slowly anyway. So, I will give it a try. My last attempt - if this is not successful, so be it.

But as I said, I see already changes (10 days in) My Lunalae is coming back on my thumbs, my wound healing is faster, less cold hands and my skin / scalp is less itchy and better heart rate while standing.

But there are also things what I would call “side effects” like pain and additional exhaustion. But I will hang in there.

I don’t know what it will bring. But why should I wait ? For what ? When ? We are loosing our lives NOW.

I will update you regularly.”

I hate how much #LongCovid has messed up my brain, and particularly my short-term memory. This evening, I needed to go to the toilet. So, I dragged myself to the bathroom. Once I got there, I forgot why I was there. Since I was there, I went in and washed my hands. /1— Dan the LC Kiwi 🇳🇿 (@LongCovidKiwi) February 22, 2025

This evening, I needed to go to the toilet. So, I dragged myself to the bathroom. Once I got there, I forgot why I was there.

Since I was there, I went in and washed my hands…Then I stumbled back to the couch. 5 minutes later I find that I am now urgently needing the toilet. Dragged myself back to the bathroom.

Now I’m really confused. I remember that I’d just washed my hands, so I assume I had also gone to the toilet. I hadn’t. FFS.”

The Survivorship Bias That’s Killing Us: Long COVID and the Myth of “Moving On”
The Survivorship Bias That’s Killing Us: Long COVID and the Myth of “Moving On”

“The Survivorship Bias That’s Killing Us: Long COVID and the Myth of “Moving On”

It’s easy to believe everything is fine when you only see the survivors. The people who didn’t die, who seem to be “back to normal,” are the faces we focus on. But what about the ones you don’t see? The coworker who hasn’t returned to the office. The friend who never seems to make plans anymore. The parent who used to juggle it all but now struggles to get through the day. These are the millions suffering from Long COVID.”

“The general population still seems to think “LongCovid” & COVID complications are these hazy, undefined, psychological problems which can be magically fixed by SSRIs & talk therapy, instead of like 10-15 different serious diagnoses you will be living with for the rest of your life, that requires routinely seeing a ton of different specialists. You won’t be working long hours to move up in the world—or working at all—because surviving all your chronic illnesses is now your unpaid FULL-TIME JOB. The chronic illnesses you acquire as a result of this particular novel pathogen are special though, because no one believes the cause (including your doctors) & all of society accuses you of malingering. It’s quite expensive & difficult to survive in these circumstances, thus many people are not.”
