In a recent open letter to health secretary Wes Streeting, Long Covid SOS called for the government to "get [the] Long Covid crisis on the health agenda" and fund further research.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zuo7ttfhdguujnpx22nctb7a/bafkreidpmywmsxre6jqp5zbok33jmc6sw7w5xf6meycqrcwixhspo7ac5q@jpeg)

Anyone who has had Covid is a candidate for #LongCovid. Yes, you too. And with that comes a myriad of health symptoms. Significant allergies can be one of them. Covid is an insidious disease and, even if you're vaccinated, you are not magically immune. Be alert. You do not want Long Covid.
So I try not to give too many gory details about life with long covid, but I also think it’s important to give a clear picture of what can happen to anyone.
Over the last yearish, I’ve become allergic to more than 70 foods. Today I lost soy. I’m not how long I can keep eating at all.

I’m living a ghost of a life. I may never eat normally again. And it makes it so hard to watch people expose themselves to Covid over and over knowing that THIS could be not even the outcome, but some kind of midpoint.
Please do not get this disease, and please do not give it to anyone else.

I wish I could accurately describe the nightmare that is Long Covid.
I developed multiple autoimmune conditions because of it. I can barely eat. Went from 360lbs to 180lbs in less than 9 months.
I feel like I died years ago. 🫤 no cure. No treatment. Just - "suck it up"

It's very helpful when allies mask up in solidarity with clinically vulnerable friends, family & neighbours. Protection is not great if you're the lone masker in a crowded room with inadequate ventilation. Better still, join our campaign for better indoor air quality standards!💚

Living with Long COVID often feels like living in a horror movie. Along with your disease comes a creepy Hive Mind refusal to acknowledge the dangers of COVID infection. In Vince Gilligan's new Apple TV show Pluribus, the Hive Mind comes to life:
