📣 6 years ago I had my first Covid-19 symptoms. Despite various debilitating symptoms still impacting my life, I was discharged from my #LongCovid service in 2024. Like thousands of others with chronic illness, I have no ongoing care. Take a look at my video ⬇️ #CureLongCovid

A reminder of a pretty etymology to brighten the day. The ‘daisy’ takes its name from the Old English ‘dæges ēage’, ‘day’s eye’, because it opens its petals at dawn, and closes them again at dusk.

Top 10 research priorities for breathlessness research… www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
thelancet.com
Top ten research priorities for breathlessness research: UK James Lind Alliance priority setting partnership
Breathlessness is a substantial global transdiagnostic problem and the most common symptom for people of all ages living with chronic respiratory disease. The prevalence of breathlessness is increasing due to an ageing population, multimorbidity, and post-COVID-19 condition.1,2 The symptom of breathlessness is worsened by social deprivation, environmental factors, health-care inequalities and the inverse care law, whereby people who most need health care are least likely to receive it, and is associated with premature mortality.
