James is looking for folks who’ve dealt with pediatric POTS in order to help a friend.

If that’s you (or someone you love) please comment and hopefully we can help this 9 year old who could use some support.
Pediatric POTS
I have a friend whose 9-year old daughter has been diagnosed with POTS. She is on some heart meds, but is still passing out. I'm looking for any pediatric-specific POTS site/tweet/etc that I can pass on to this scared Mom. Thanks

@broadwaybabyto - Thanks for your help!

When people think of #LongCovid many think of fatigue. But for some that’s not an issue. Here’s a report on Kelsie Gonzalez’s hearing loss & #tinnitus.

“Intensity of the ring just got louder & louder. I felt very isolated… I was just in my head with that horn sound”

If you’re doing everything you can to avoid COVID & you get sick anyways, you were failed by society. You did not fail.

You were failed by governments & public health who’ve abdicated all responsibility. By people who won’t take the most basic precautions.

It’s not your fault.

Good watch. It'll be my 3rd anniversary this year with long covid in November. This gives a glimpse into that life. We are all different but there are commonalities.
📺Emotive, beautifully shot doc by The Guardian of a year with Long Covid with @greendarrenshipley.bsky.social

It powerfully depicts the devastating impact #LongCovid is still having on individuals, families and society.

Keep it up folks! Times just wrote about medical gaslighting of long covid patients. I’m shocked. I think institutions like @sickkidsvs.bsky.social and the Canadian paediatric society will have increasing difficulties gaslighting long covid kids.

It is impossible to overstate how amazing PrEP is and that it is one of the greatest medical breakthroughs in history. HIV was a literal death sentence when I was a teenager. No hope. This is a monumental achievement in human history. But no, not for us.
Right wing extremists are trying to block access to PrEP, which all but eliminates HIV risk.

It’s part of their Make America Sick Again agenda.

PrEP can end HIV infections globally. These zealots don’t want that. They want to go back to the 1950s. They want people to get HIV as punishment for sin.
SCOTUS Takes Up Case Challenging the ACA’s No-Cost Coverage of PrEP
Two Christian-owned companies are challenging the Affordable Care Act’s mandate that insurers cover certain preventive services — including PrEP — at no cost.
