I’m an ICU nurse with interests in end of life care, technology and medication safety. Out of work food, Pilates, coffee and swimming probably not in that order. PwLC since November ‘22 She/her

QLD CHO managed to open a long covid conference & barely mentioned long covid instead chose to reference diabetes patients testing their urine for sugar in the 1950s.

I am rarely affected by discourse on social media, but the current wave of posts asserting that Long Covid is psychosomatic has angered me. To be very clear: if you're asserting that LC isn't a physical disease, you're ignorant of science. End of.

AI data centres are projected to use 13 per cent of Australia’s electricity and 20 per cent of Sydney’s water within a decade. These things are mushrooming across the country and Labor has issued a “consultation paper”. Like New York, we need a moratorium not a survey.

My new Bosch oven has a section in the instruction book for ‘Cooking for Great Britain’. It includes Victoria sponge, scones, fruit cake, pork sausages & various cuts of meat. Do Bosch provide similar instructions for other nationals?

Things I’ve given up to stay out of rolling PEM: Work, 80% of social life, travel (family are os so I haven’t seen them since ‘22), daily showers, in person shopping, complex cooking, reformer Pilates, squad swimming, photography, attending concerts/sporting events, watching a movie in 1 go…

Pacing is not a true treatment, but rather an attempt to limit further deterioration - and anything but wellness. It frequently means adopting the most severe restrictions to one’s ADLs to avoid further rolling #PEM and a lowering of your baseline. #PwME must sacrifice their quality of life in

Really sad to wake up to read & see images of damage caused by wildfires around my home town. And still the climate deniers continue to blame *any* other excuse rather than the capitalism that is rotting the world around us.

Nothing prepares you for the loneliness that comes with being chronically ill. The grief of realizing the medical system can’t (or won’t) help you. The pain of being abandoned by family & friends. The isolation of knowing we’re in a eugenics nightmare that most don’t see until it’s too late.

The people of Tehran and Beirut have just as much right to have their city stay unbombed, and to be angry and grieve and even seek revenge if that is violated, as the people of Jerusalem or Paris or London or New York.

I used to enjoy a lot of photography before I got #LongCovid My camera gear has been untouched for four years, so I was relieved to find 2/3 batteries would charge (1 for each camera) & I took the point & shoot out this morning. I perhaps need varifocals to see what I’m doing though 😆
