I’ve tried every level of govt, every service & they won’t help.

Please ask people in if they have somewhere for me to go. Could they take me in (I can pay small rent)? A lot of people have ‘big house, not enough money’ problem. I can help!

Is anybody an #advocate?

I would be incredibly grateful for any help beyond words.🙏

Please read articles for full info

Thank you for reading.

MobilizeHands Off! COVID Long-Haulers Fights Back · Hands Off**Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them.** We are fighting back! They're taking everything they can get their hands on—our health care, our data, our jobs, our services—and daring the world to stop them. This is a crisis, and the time to act is now. 🚨 **On Saturday, April 5th, we're taking to the streets to fight back with a clear message: Hands off!** 🚨 This mass mobilization day is our message to the world that we do not consent to the destruction of our government and our economy for the benefit of Trump and his billionaire allies. Alongside Americans across the country, we are marching, rallying, and protesting to demand a stop the chaos and build an opposition movement against the looting of our country. A core principle behind all Hands Off! events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values. But we also need a space for people with disabilities to attend, a virtual gathering for people who can't participate in person. COVID Long-Haulers Against Fascism is a group of people with long COVID and their allies. If you would like to learn more, please email us at CLHAgainstFascism@gmail.com.

Oh hey, in reference to above: uhhh, no one seems to be getting vaccinated anymore and while that's bad, it also means no one seems to care anymore about whether you stick to a vaccine schedule?

As in, I'm trying to get a booster about every six months or so, and so far no one (my pharmacist, my doctor) seems to care about when I had the last one so they just do it (I'm in Oregon).

So if you want to get vaccinated again, definitely TRY! :)

PLEASE HELP ME ESCAPE!

Please #boost and share to other platforms.🙏I don’t have energy left (see below).

Seems I’m famous (and real!) and desperate enough to go to the media for help. Yes, the trapped woman in the articles below is me.

👉Last year:

Now things are worse, I’m much sicker, being neglected and will die without a safe stable #home. Doctor’s words.

If not mentioned in the article, my father is a diagnosed #narcissist with #psychopathic & #antisocial tendencies by a #psychiatrist. He urged me get away from my father asap because he is not a ‘safe person’ & neither are the other family members who lured me back through the promise of help.They didn’t help they made me progressively worse to the point of almost incapacitation at stage of #illness.

Are able help? Please ask people in real life if they have somewhere for me to go. Could they take me in (I can pay small rent)? A lot people have ‘big house, not enough money’ problem. I can help!

Liebe Bubble,
Ich bin auf der Suche nach einem guten Tracker für Medikamente auf Android. Meine Frau wurde mit #mecfs diagnostiziert. Nicht, dass dies selbst schon schwierig genug wäre, ist das korrekte Einnehmen der Medikamente für sie gerade auch nicht so einfach. Die Apps, welche ich bis jetzt gefunden habe, hatten massenhaft Werbetracker und co drin... Kennt da jemensch etwas?
Danke für einen Boost ❤️

"The History of ME deserves a late-night spotlight. That’s why we started the #JohnVsJonVsME campaign"

thesicktimes.org/2025/03/31/th

This campaign was inspired by George Monbiot who called the history of mistreatment of people with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) the “greatest medical scandal of the 21st century”

Note: Most patients in the USA get a diagnosis of ME/CFS, not ME. CDC info here:

cdc.gov/me-cfs/about/index.htm

I guess having “historically difficult to control” intestinal disease means having to choose between stopping your biologic for a while and receiving an updated MMR or staying on said med and risking a lack of immunity during a measles outbreak. This is fine. 🙄 #chronicillness

From covid data reports on twitter:
Association between COVID-19 and the development of chronic kidney disease in patients without initial acute kidney injury.
nature.com/articles/s41598-025

NatureAssociation between COVID-19 and the development of chronic kidney disease in patients without initial acute kidney injury - Scientific ReportsWhile the association between COVID-19 and acute kidney injury (AKI) is well documented, the impact of COVID-19 on the development of advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains unclear, particularly in patients without initial AKI. Using the TriNetX healthcare database, we conducted a matched cohort study comparing 141,587 COVID-19 and 141,587 influenza patients. We excluded patients with AKI within one month of infection and matched groups on demographics, comorbidities, and baseline laboratory values. The primary outcome was the incidence of advanced CKD (stages 3–5) at the 12-month follow-up. COVID-19 patients showed higher 12-month risks of advanced CKD (hazard ratio [HR]:2.02, 95% confidence interval [CI]:1.69–2.42, p < 0.0001), AKI (HR 3.04, 95%CI:2.61–3.55, p < 0.0001), and estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 (HR:3.01, 95%CI:2.74–3.30, p < 0.0001) compared to influenza patients. Subgroup analyses showed consistently elevated risks across sexes and in patients over 45 years, while younger patients did not demonstrate an increased risk of advanced CKD at the 12-month follow-up. Diabetes mellitus and hypertension have emerged as the strongest predictors of advanced CKD development. In conclusion, COVID-19 is associated with an increased risk of long-term renal dysfunction compared with influenza, suggesting the need for extended monitoring of kidney function in high-risk populations.
