Some experts talk about Covid as a "mass disabling event" and Rowland's long covid story is just one of so many. Really eye opening video, watch it.
If you get a moment today, please watch my film about the last 18 months living with long covid. I think I can safely say it's the most important thing I've ever made youtu.be/Fm8WsO_FQYk

SOME NEWS. I’m so excited to finally be able to say I’m writing a new book - a lifestyle guide for disabled women for @FigTreePenguin out in 2025. It’s a love letter to disabled women everywhere. With jokes. There’s more info about it here: theguardian.com/society/2022…

I’ve been working a little with Visible - a new app designed for people with long covid and post-viral conditions- and it’s great to see it finally out there. The app creates tools to track symptoms and pace activity and I hope will be of real help. theguardian.com/society/2022…

@Cutler_econ and I have a #longcovid oped @BostonGlobe. Tl;dr — with millions with activity-limiting LC symptoms, and millions more suffering other infection-associated chronic illnesses, we can’t afford to go back to normal. We need a new approach. (1/) bostonglobe.com/2022/10/31/o…

Is #LongCovid a "real thing," #MedTwitter? I'll let you decide. Here's my own case: I'm a cardiologist(40s) with no prior medical Hx & have run tons of marathons & several 1/2 Ironman Tris. In March '20, I fell ill and became quickly hypoxic and confused. It was COVID-19. 1/

Of all the horrors of #COVID, the prospect of millions of people with with #LongCovid is one of the worst. But it's been hard to get a handle on clinically. A 🧵 on some new results that may shed light on why, and offer some possible ways forward doi.org/10.1101/2021.09.21.2… 👇 1/n

Through the window of the eyes. This study (preprint) of retinal perfusion could be an important step towards a biomarker for #LongCovid and #MECFS: medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/… Evidently, there is a clear deviding line between the patients with Post Covid Syndrome (PCS) and controls

We just got another great paper by the team of @Dr_B_Hohberger. The correlations they have been showing between retinal vascular density and LC are impressive. Absolutely recommend people read this and see it together with other relevant publications medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
