People are developing Long Covid after their third, fourth, fifth, etc infection.
It’s still circulating, still disabling and, in some cases still deadly.
You’ve gotta ask yourself what your ‘lucky’ number is going to be.
Fran Haddock retweeted
The Government should be investing properly in treatments for Long COVID.
Far too many people left in this situation: read Darren's story. 👇🏼
This time last year I lost my job due to #LongCovid.
Unsurprisingly it was an extremely difficult time.
I'd worked for the NHS as a Learning Disability Nurse for 20yrs.
Long Covid ended my career.
It also drastically altered my life.
Some reflections 👇

Severe #MECFS means you often need carers just to survive. But if your caregiver is your abuser, you’re trapped. Over exertion and stress can trigger a deterioration in your health lasting weeks or even months. I can’t imagine much worse. I’ve just donated to help Mari escape.
Would appreciate support and shares for Mari!
Mari is someone I’ve known for >2 years who has severe ME. She is trapped within caregiver abuse. She has inadequate care which harms her, she is struggling to access food, & she desperately needs to escape.

I'm sorry that disabled people make you uncomfortable, Autumn. But “your psyche will do insane things to try to sustain the illness” is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Believing I wasn't sick in 2021 is what helped me become mostly bedridden. Take your ableism elsewhere.

A plea to the #CovidConscious & #LongCovid communities: Don’t use ableist language, imply people with mental illness can’t make valid choices about Covid mitigations, or misappropriate psychological terms. Not saying I’m perfect - reminding myself too. #VioletAffleck #CleanAir

We have formally written to @loosewomen clarifying the:
💙 importance of clean air
💙 devastation of #LongCovid
Illnesses like LC & ME predominantly affect women & are often minimised.
💙We believe women should support each other to stay safe & be heard.
A short🧵about what faithful friends the @loosewomen are to @andrea_mclean 🤯and how they were complicit today in gaslighting all the chn with @LongCovidKids
The ladies had an opportunity to discuss #LongCovid and #CleanAir, but instead did a hatchet job on Violet Affleck:

Thread: 👉 Swipe through, share if it resonates, and remember: your feelings are valid.
Felt sad, hurt, solidarity & anger at #BellaHadid & #YolandaHadid 's posts? You’re not alone.
💙 Same Conditions, Different Realities 💙
We share the same illnesses — Lyme, POTS, PMDD, MCAS — but not the same access.
💔 Illness doesn’t discriminate.
💸 Access to care does.

New leader @ZackPolanski is one of the only politicians highlighting the ongoing impact of #COVID19 & #LongCovid on our nation's health & economy.
