"Long COVID remains a misunderstood condition, frequently misdiagnosed as a psychiatric disorder. Historical lessons and new research underscore the necessity for proper recognition and care."
Is Long COVID Being Mistaken for Mental Illness?
Long COVID’s complex symptoms often lead to psychiatric misdiagnoses, echoing past post-viral disorders. Recognition and proper care are vital to improving patient outcomes.

Since my light sensitivity has skyrocketed over the last few months I have had the (soft/warm) lights on earlier in the day, which charges glow pup enough to work ($20 knock-off?)🤪 With #MECFS #LongCovid we have to find the #MicroJoys wherever we can. 🌻 #pwME #BelieveME What gives you warm fuzzies?!

Feels like a lifetime ago that I was almost never seen without lipstick. Found my stash today. While I’d like to wear them “just for fun” it’s not possible bc it will 100% end up on my bed linens when I plop in and out of exhaustion. My lips miss you all! #MECFS #LongCovid #pwME #BelieveME

Today one of my best friends got a great new job, an achievement. I’m happy to share his joy but got me thinking about the lack of achievements I have. I hate it, I want to be successful too. Right now I can’t even manage my #MECFS …what a mess. #pwME #MillionsMissing #chronicillness

1 in every 4 kids will develop #LongCovid symptoms following Covid infection.
It is the result of an analysis of 8373 publications with a total of 80,071 children and adolescents.
Anyone denying this cannot be a Health Secretary anywhere.

Not demure, no rizz, and totally delulu. I don’t usually post about things outside of #MECFS but the insanity of this hellscape we just re-entered is making it hard to find JOY to keep trekking. #LongCovid advocacy and policy changes are getting further away. So far away. #BelieveME #pwME
About 75% of immigrant farm workers did not show up for work this week in Bakersfield, California, as the threat of Trump’s immigration raids looms.

Many who speak about DEI being removed from employment are forgetting disabled people in that conversation. It’s not surprising since most forget about us as a whole but this is going to make it so disabled people can barely get hired or receive any accommodations. We’re barely surviving as is.

If telehealth is no longer available on my ACA insurance in CA. My caretaker already hates taking me to appts and this would surely make things worse for me, at home and also potentially and LIKELY make my #MECFS worse, either temporarily, semi-permanent, or permanent. #BelieveME #LongCovid #pwME
Join us in urging Congress to extend telehealth services indefinitely through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Congress extended telehealth coverage through March 2025, but millions need permanent access to these vital services.

Predictably, they are doing so after labelling her #MEcfs as psychiatric #chronicillness
