Long covid, and being afflicted with multiple covid

So a good friend of mine, an ED nurse, is sadly one of the outliers who is susceptible to covid and its variants.

He has had one infection of covid, which led to long covid, and now he's had pneumonia like symptoms, since diagnosed as another infection of covid.

The medals are for the ambulance service, but nothing likely will be done (medals wise) for nurses or doctors.

The world isn't injust, it's indifferent.

Politics makes for injustice....

anyways happy pride to all my high risk queers out there, to all my disabled queers for whom events aren't accessible to, to my immunocompromised folks who can't risk attending events where people aren't masked or taking covid precautions! happy pride to my fellow cripqueers that want to be out there fighting and celebrating with their friends and family and can't because it's not safe for them to do so– you're not alone and you deserve to celebrate too. we all do.

“The burden of disease and disability from Long COVID, when you measure it, is on par with the burden of cancer and heart disease. Even if people emerge unscathed after having the first infection they can still get long covid after reinfection. Not enough people know this fact. The best way to prevent Long COVID is to prevent COVID in the first place. There is no Long COVID without COVID.”

World-renowned COVID-19 researcher Dr Ziyad Al-Aly, January 2024, Testimony before the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor & Pensions

I’ve decided the taste of paxlovid is the taste of 🔥🔥VIRUS DYING🔥🔥 which means THIS IS THE BLOOD OF MY ENEMIES UPON MY TONGUE AS THEY FALL BEFORE MY DEFENSES

(It's so yucky I have to romanticize it somehow)

You’ll be starting to see more and more posts normalizing the symptoms of long covid/covid damage (as isolated things completely separate from covid of course, wouldn’t want to start confronting that!!🙄) and I just want to reiterate to y’all that it is NOT normal to experience brain fog, memory problems, and/or chronic fatigue in your 20s/30s. Don’t fall for propaganda that normalizes a deadly and mass disabling disease, don’t be a willing participant in eugenics and pls speak out and mask up!!

Biden declares covid “over”

Studies begin to show that covid causes long term multi system damage including cognitive decline

Biden gets covid multiple times

Biden starts to decline cognitively

Dems start asking biden to drop from the race

Biden refuses

Biden gets covid again

Using health data from almost 213,000 Americans who experienced reinfections, researchers have found that severe infections from the virus that causes COVID-19 tend to foreshadow similar severity of infection the next time a person contracts the disease. Additionally, scientists discovered that long COVID was more likely to occur after a first infection compared to a reinfection.The study, funded by the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) Researching COVID to Enhance Recovery (RECOVER) Initiative, is published in Communications Medicine.

The analysis used data from electronic health records of 3.1 million Americans who are part of the National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C). Researchers focused on 212,984 people who reported a reinfection. Those individuals were originally infected between March 1, 2020-Dec. 31, 2022, and experienced a second infection by March 2023. Most participants (203,735) had COVID-19 twice, but a small number (478) had it three times or more. COVID-19 vaccines, though not available during the entire study period, correlated with a protective effect.

So Ferry got a SUPER positive Covid result and mine was inconclusive but I'm also already showing symptoms about a day behind hers

We both got hit HARD with it waaaay back at the start and I still have Long Covid, so this'll be... good good fun...........

brief survey

*common symptoms include:

physiological - lingering chest pain, shortness of breath, lingering cough, heart palpitations, abnormal heart rate

neurological - brain fog, general cognitive decline, fatigue, language/word retrieval issues, short term and long term memory issues, abnormal executive dysfunction, difficulty concentrating, exacerbation of pre-existing depression or anxiety

**if you first contracted covid before vaccines were available, you can count it as unvaccinated

I dont even want to mark the anniversary but im already feeling so much dread and this is adding to it. The first year was the worst for sure, but year 3 rolling around is just. 3 years. 3 years. And it keeps getting worse. I never could have predicted the past 6 months even at my more pessimistic. I don't know how to get out of what happened. I can't go back. Mostly because it can happen again. It may get even worse. There's no safety. Even more so because there's no acknowledgement of what happened. Adapted transport won't even agree not to send buses anymore. Doesn't matter they left me unresponsive on the fucking street last time. The hospital never took accountability for what they did to me. Nothing. I have this impulse to shake everyone I see and scream "do you know what happening to me". This pandemic is fucked up. I wanna survive it. I don't wanna be a fucking number. I'm not even gonna be counted as a fucking number because now that covid crippled me, it can kill me without raising anyone's eyebrow. How convenient. I'm just gonna be another cripple that proves to abled people that they're safe from covid. Doesn't matter that I was abled 3 years ago.

Avoid COVID Reinfections

"But there is also growing evidence that in some people, getting COVID-19 the first time may compromise the immune response in a way that makes the body less likely to respond effectively the next time it sees the virus. That could leave certain organs and body systems, such as the brain, weaker for months after infection—and subsequent ones."

“Each time you get hit, it does impact your body, so let’s try not to get it too many times,” says Smith."

"Data also continue to show that even vaccinated people can get Long COVID—although the risk may be lower—since the protection provided by vaccines wanes over time, just as it does from infections. Vaccines are therefore a strong but not absolute barrier to the virus."

"In the meantime, Smith says it’s important for people to understand that they still need to do everything they can to avoid getting COVID-19. That means staying up to date with vaccinations and taking some basic precautions, such as wearing high-quality masks indoors when cases are high, especially in crowded places and on public transportation"

it is supremely weird having a doctor in the family who is very pro-science, pro-vax, and progressive but who I constantly have to correct about common covid myths

"we overcame a once in a century pandemic"

Which one? Surely you don't mean covid-19, the thing you're sick with RIGHT NOW that continues to kill and disable your fellow Americans by the thousands every week
