10 supporters are talking about petitions related to Long COVID!
I have had Long Covid for almost 3 yrs now and am tired of being ignored or just told well, there is nothing we can do for you. As a result of Long Covid I now have low blood sodium and am on total liquid restriction of 1.25 liters/day. I am now on my 4th PCP and they all seem to think that this is totally acceptable. My most recent PCP stated that he has lots of female patients with low blood sodium and some have gone as low as 116 and didn't die.
It's imperative the clinics remain open. All the knowledge that the doctors built up over the last 5 years will disappear. We need support, we need care and treatment that can only be given from these clinics. GPS are not familiar with the medications that are used effectively and are reluctant to prescribe. Long Covid is a physical and mental and debilitating chronic illness and needs to be recognised as such for the clinics to stay open.
I have needed Dr Shribman at my local clinic for support, guidance, prescribed medication, referrals to other NHS services that this illness has caused. My clinic are amazing and need yo be open for the good of the long covid local community. Please help and support.
I have never been the same person since having long covid which is similar to me cfs please find more money for research and please keep these vital long covid clinics open as they are essential to patents
As a patient and physician with ME/CFS, I can objectively say that this condition has a real organic cause and is not psychosomatic/psychological in origin.
Please, do the right thing for this beautiful soul who need medical attention because her mitochondria are not working.
There is enough evidence to show this is a organic biological condition, it’s not a question anymore . To allow someone in this condition to be treated (or not treated) and to add to the immense suffering she is already experiencing everyday of her life, is truly the antithesis of inhuman. She and all people deserve much better.
Through Line's life experiences she has been positive and just trying to live her best. As a content creator she was kind and super inclusive. Even now she is writing and publishing books. She's clearly being affected by a serious real condition and has real support from others with the exact same condition.
This cannot happen again. Line’s life is in danger with forced psychiatric hospitalization. Please don’t let what happened to Sophia Mirza, and so many others, happen to her.
As someone that has experienced long covid and the affects that it gave me personally. No one deserves to live this way. These chronic illnesses are brutal and we need support and help.
ME is a real disease with peer-reviewed evidence of mitochondrial dysfunction at the root cause. Provide this woman treatment and support, don't worsen her health by sending her to a place that can only worsen her physical and mental condition.
As I was reading the statement made I was remembering the young woman who died earlier this year because of ME/CFS and lack of concern and care for her condition by the doctors who were supposed to help her. Was this young lady lazy or was she completely incapable of exercise? She was completely incapable for physiological reasons NOT due to laziness/a lack of trying. The statement made is ignorant, inaccurate, and could lead to someone becoming further debilitated if they were to take his words as fact and attempt activities that the body is not able to perform or recover from.
