Been over six weeks since trying Pemgarda and have not noticed any effect on Long Covid symptoms (pem and pots).
There were side effects (flu like symptoms, muscle and joint pain, increase in pem) that subsided after a week.

There’s a difficult irony that many people would really rather not have to think about this (ie what started in 2020 that’s clearly still happening)… but willingness to confront it is also the best way to reduce your odds of ending up on this chart + having to think about it all the fucking time.

Alice Wong reminded us that community space matters;

Just want to vent about Twitter.
Kinda tired of all the attention seeking Long Covid accounts who just post clickbaits all day every day instead of actually meaningfully engaging in the advocacy.
