tj (i make it past the end)<p>"The act of forgetting has always been a tool of oppression. We cannot adequately resist that which has been revised, erased, or forgotten by our community members. But few will acknowledge that this is happening with COVID. Just as one may utter that “slavery was back then, get over it”, when we use verbiage like “post-pandemic” we are rendering oppression as a static past event rather than an ever-evolving present that shapes our shared future. This tactic has always been useful to those who wish to profit off of our suffering and the cycle will continue to repeat if we do not acknowledge and act on the truth of our current reality. If we do not reckon with our failures to each other around COVID and do the work to remedy it, are we better than those who try to ban our people’s histories’ from the schools? We aid in the crusade to forget every day when we do not consider the pandemic as both current and deadly." </p><p>~V.

Octavia con Amore :pink_moon_and_stars:<p>This is going to be mostly my personal experience with long covid, interspersed with bits of knowledge I receive from the various medical staff that are helping take care of me~ :shiba_excited: I'll try to make sure I just reply to the last post so people new to the series can look back at the old posts easily :bugcat_nod: </p><p>Hopefully, it can help people understand some of the effects of this rather widespread, invisible disability that I and countless others have to fight day in and day out and empathise with those that have it :hug_love: </p><p>-----</p><p>One of the physical symptoms is that I'm dimished to something like 20% of my previous max stamina, with activities costing multiple times what they previously did alongside a much slower stamina recovery :cat_frown:</p><p>Grocery trips are prohibitively expensive on the stamina now, and I need to sit for 30~45 minutes before I can even put groceries away...showers require most of a day's worth of stamina (baths are a little better but harder to wash my hair in... cooking? I have to have a stool in the kitchen and even then, the parts that require standing drain my stamina quickly :frog_dizzy:</p><p>and honestly? I'm one of the lucky ones...Physics Girl (youtube) recently managed to stand up for the first time in a year or two, and that's been both a sobering reminder of what long covid can do as well as a source of great hope for my own recovery, though I'm ready to fight it for years (on top of the 1.5ish years I've already had to deal with it).</p><p>Back on the topic of physical stamina, the worst part is that exercise doesn't work. For a healthy human, using up 105% of your stamina leads to increased stamina after recovering for a day or two. For long-covid patients, exceeding our (now much smaller) stamina capacity *decreases* our stamina capacity :cat_facepalm: </p><p>You can think of it as an injury paradigm in that overloading a leg recovering from a recent breakage will re-injure it, not strengthen it :zerotwo_shrug: </p><p>and that's probably enough for a first entry :cat_think: </p><p><a href="https://cutie.city/tags/Covid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Covid</span></a> <a href="https://cutie.city/tags/Covid19" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Covid19</span></a> <a href="https://cutie.city/tags/LongCovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongCovid</span></a> <a href="https://cutie.city/tags/Health" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Health</span></a> <a href="https://cutie.city/tags/Disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Disability</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/longcovid" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>longcovid</span></a></span></p>
Rat Can't Read (she/her)<p>(7/?)

Rat Can't Read (she/her)<p>(2/?) So, why are people in the US too tired to protest the hostile takover of our government by a manbaby billionaire? </p><p>I'd like to state the obvious and point out that <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/covid19" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>covid19</span></a> is still a pandemic. Most people in the US have, on average, had about 3-4 <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/covid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>covid</span></a> infections at this point. Covid can leave people with debilitating fatigue for months or even years after the initial infection. It can leave people with brain fog, chronic coughs, depression, autoimmune disorders, and a host of other maladies. Even if some people don't realize they have <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/LongCovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongCovid</span></a> or don't have symptoms serious enough to warrant a <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/longhaul" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>longhaul</span></a> diagnosis, those infections add up. People are getting sick more frequently and the effects of these illnesses are adding up.
