Hi my name is Charlie and
#LongCovid has destroyed my life. Today is two years. Before my 'mild infection' I was a healthy fit 30 year old biking 10 miles a day. Now I can't work or leave the house. I still can't breathe right. It‘s a nightmare. Here are my 4 questions:Show this thread -
Important new study: Half of 143 #LongCovid patients (those with moderate or severe disease) showed hypometabolic brain impairment (i.e., decreased glucose consumption in parts of the brain). https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00259-022-05753-5 …pic.twitter.com/eI4yJuZOec

I keep hearing from patients with
#LongCOVID that they were told their symptoms are just stress. Guess what’s not stress: Heart rate 30. Heart rate 150 when standing. Loud buzzing in your ears. Forgetting words you knew. Burning skin on half of your body. & 200 more symptoms. -
Genuinely flabbergasted at how so many people are failing to grasp that we are living through the largest mass disabling event in modern history & it seems like very few policy makers are taking note or preparing for the inevitable collapse of an entire workforce.

In a new
#LongCovid study, one in three patients showed endothelial dysfunction (i.e., diminished ability to widen blood vessels when needed). Also of note, 15 of the 30 patients qualified for#MECFS for which this impairment is frequently observed. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35317812/ pic.twitter.com/ekgpx0UMZz

Whenever I talk about having
#LongCovid, I get a lot of ppl asking me whether I've been vaccinated. This is very frustrating. Many longhaulers - myself included - fell ill before the vaccine was widely available. In addition, 10-14% of breakthrough infections result in Long CovidShow this thread -
The whole “vaccines reduce
#LongCovid so we’re good” rhetoric is blowing my mind. It’s reducing it from 20-30% to 10%. So we’re saying “instead of having 3 plane crashes a day we’re now down to one plane crash a day - so everybody should just shut up & get on plane”Show this thread -
Taxi driver yesterday as we lugged wheelchair into the boot we explained what it’s for; ‘What’s
#LongCovid?’ If the public doesn’t even know what it is, how can they be aware of the risk and make decisions to protect themselves? -
I sound like a broken record but where are the
#LongCovid treatment trials? The IVIG trials? Immune adsorption trials? Paxlovid trials? mAbs trials? Stellate ganglion block trials? Triple anticoagulation trials? Sulodexide trials? What are medical authorities/bodies waiting for? -
#LongCovid is the health catastrophe after the public health pandemic emergency. We could’ve been ahead of the curve.. but no.. https://twitter.com/elisaperego78/status/1506855893501190149 … pic.twitter.com/Mg7P4EMChl -
Letter in
@guardian today. So so true. I will be forever changed by this illness. My outlook on the world is altered. I hope if I can work as a doctor again, it will be with empathy and humility.#LongCovid pic.twitter.com/SUHl9vmHWt

Today I spoke about my experience of
#longCOVID on@BBCMorningLive, especially how realising and admitting that I couldn’t function like before was one of the hardest things I’ve had to do. I sincerely hope it helped others affected x Full segment here:https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0015pts/morning-live-series-3-22032022 … -
The government have given up, but we must continue to try our best. You may not realise it, but your life as you know it may never be the same.

#LongCovid is not only revolutionizing the way we understand viral infections and their long term effects. It also brings justice and validation to the millions who were gaslit, ridiculed, shunned and ignored for decades. It's time to rewrite history! -
