Fint att fler oroar sig för hur vi aka hantera nästa pandemi, särskilt som det mesta tyvärr talar för fler sådana pga klimatförändringarna. Men blir nyfiken på vad det är alla svenskar som varit nöjda, och som nu plötsligt är oroliga, tror att FoHM gjorde för att stoppa Covid. En liten tråd.

An insight often shared by people with M.E. is that they stop using their outdoor shoes when the home becomes the place where all their time is spent. A common form of mass protest among M.E. patients is therefore to leave their shoes outside parliamentary buildings...

“I’m not worried about Long Covid” Of course you’re not. Most people weren’t worried about it, until it happened to them This is true of most disabilities. People think they’re the exception. That we’ve done something “wrong”. It’ll be different for them Disability can & does happen to everyone.

Best medication for moderate-severe ME/CFS so far after 7 years of trying: Tramadol. Doesn’t get talked about enough. Perhaps it could be an idea for LongCovid as well? Not well but allows for a better quality of life. #mecfs #longcovid #tramadol #me #lc

As Diktgymnasiet describes it, ‘my writing was sick, just as I was’. They had to ask themselves, ‘if reading and writing isn’t a cognitive possibility, what does this mean for the artist-writer?’

„Sick Text” meditates on the world Diktgymnasiet now inhabits and the whole scale change they have gone through since living with chronic health problems. In sickness, language, the foundation of their art practice became unknowable, lost, out of reach.

I just bumbled into the name of a genre called “Hopepunk” when looking up one of my favorte authors, Becky Chambers … and in addition to they learned she has published more books than I realized. YAY! (“The long way to a small angry planet” is very good)
Hopepunk
Article Talk
Hopepunk is a subgenre of speculative fiction, conceived of as the opposite of grimdark. Works in the hopepunk subgenre are about characters fighting for positive change, radical kindness, and communal responses to challenges.

Herd immunity is so antiquated. Hello 'daycare immunity'.
My son started daycare at just shy of 4 months in May 2024. He’s had roseola, Covid, strep and at least 5-10 colds in the last 7.5 months. As flu and RSV cases start to increase again, I’m paranoid about him getting sick again. I’m wondering how much a baby’s immune system strengthens once they been in daycare for over 6 months and have already had numerous sicknesses. At 11 months now, he has had the first flu shot but pending his second dose. No RSV vaccine (doctor didn’t recommend it). RSV and flu scare me the most

In my experience people with disabilities are often some of the kindest, smartest & most resilient people you will ever meet - because they’ve known suffering & they’ve learned compassion. Compassion for themselves and for others. /15

Thanks I look into it more. People that have been treated in Norway before this trial happened got better, around 1/3 of the patients of Dagfinn Ogreid. As told by the doctor. He didn’t do a study though. It’s his estimate. I discussed with a fellow Swede who was there and got better.

Yes I saw this one also. But the results didn’t mean that nobody in this study didn’t get better on it. Some still had improvement on the drug. And a couple had a lot of improvement. The adverse effects are a bit scary though of course.

Wow ok thank you I didn’t know that. Hmm. Yes I know. It’s so frustrating we’re such a heterogeneous group! Things that might make us better might also make us decline permanently. So hard to navigate this. When is it worth it to try something that could potentially make things worse?

Today’s featured article on Wikipedia’s homepage is the ME/CFS entry! If you’re not familiar with ME/CFS, this is a great overview of a debilitating condition very commonly triggered by Covid. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myalgic...
From today's featured article

Graphic showing four icons labeled profound fatigue, worsening from exertion, disrupted sleep and brain fog

Text reads:

Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a disabling chronic illness. People with ME/CFS experience profound fatigue
Symptoms of ME/CFS that does not go away with rest, sleep issues, and problems with memory or concentration.
The hallmark symptom is a worsening of the illness which starts hours to days after minor physical or mental activity, and lasts from hours to several months.
The cause of the disease is unknown. ME/CFS often starts after an infection, and many people fit the ME/CFS diagnostic criteria after contracting long COVID. Diagnosis is based on symptoms because no diagnostic test is available. The illness can improve or worsen over time, but full recovery is uncommon. No therapies or medications are approved to treat the condition, and management is aimed at relieving symptoms. About a quarter of those affected are unable to leave their bed or home. People with ME/CFS often face stigma in healthcare settings, and care is complicated by controversies around the cause and treatments of the illness. (Full article...)
