  1. "Why Is No One Talking About Long COVID?

    — Attention has waned but patients are still suffering"

    medpagetoday.com/opinion/secon

    Pretty good basic info, but sadly ME/CFS is not mentioned even though COVID infections can trigger ME/CFS. The number of ME/CFS cases have increased since the pandemic.

    See this Bateman Horne blog post ("COVID-19 Triggers ME/CFS") for more:

  2. THIS: "Millions of Americans are thought to be suffering but not receiving appropriate clinical care. Furthermore, even now, well after the acute phase of the #COVID pandemic has passed, an estimated 30,000 Americans are newly diagnosed with #LongCOVID each year. But this is far fewer than expected, based on 2023 data. Thus, long COVID appears to have become a hidden cause of disease and disability."

    "Nirmatrelvir–ritonavir for 15 days or 25 days showed no evidence of benefit in long COVID"

    “Across all three phenotypes, substantial percentages of participants showed improvement over time by PROMs and less so by performance measures."

  4. I've been contacted by somebody I cut ties with years ago, because they went along with the end of Covid safety protocols with a cheerful vengeance. They're now asking if I know of a doctor who treats Long Covid. I have to figure out what to say.

    I think it's a "teachable moment"? If I can find a way to get some info across without being a dick about it? Obviously "Well well well, look who's..." is not the correct option. No. #covid #longcOVID #covidIsNotOver

  22. I biked to and from a friend's house yesterday. Luckily she lives on this side of town so it's not too hilly or far. I went slow which made it less fun. But still, it's good to get on a bike again. Hopefully the smartwatch can make that possible more. Since I already felt somewhat bad yesterday I can't tell if it caused any pem though.
