I started a medication that in theory, if it works, could return my heart to a normal rate. I’m still taking beta blockers. I don’t know if this is a concern because no one is following this. Not the dr who prescribed it, not my cardiologist, not my GP. Just me and my gc girlies against the world.

For other cancers there’s still so much progress to be made.

JFC they’re classifying several cardiovascular, autonomic and connective tissue disorders as functional or somatic. That’s just nonsensical. Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome for example is widely understood as a heritable disorder that can cause significant physical issues

They psychologize many of the conditions that long covid kids have including POTS, seizures, abdominal pain, etc.
This document is abusive & WILL harm kids. We need better care here in Canada for our kids. Not this.
