Video interviews (in Swedish) with a Swedish doctor who has long covid. She's answering questions from readers about post viral syndromes, facts and unknowns, dysautonomia, POTS, and the connection to ME, among other things. Experten svarar på dina frågor om långtidscovid...

Just to add a bit of context. This particular researcher published a study that has been widely cited by those in favour of the herd immunity approach, those wanting to keep schools open regardless of the consequences, and so on. Threats and harassment have been directed towards researchers in...

The new guideline has now been published: https://www.terveysportti.fi/apps/ltk/article/hsu00019?toc=476592 http://www.europeanmealliance.org/news-Q12021-002.shtml

Sweden currently doesn't have any compiled data on how many people are affected by long covid, and won't be able to get it unless data privacy regulations are changed. A spokesperson for the Swedish association for doctors with long covid says their current estimation is that there are more...

Thank you! That's very good to know :) I'll try again later, then.

Is it geoblocked outside of Australia? I'm trying to play it, but it just keeps buffering. I'm not getting any error messages, though.

According to replies from the politicians in the comments under the linked Facebook post: * The clinic will have a biomedical approach to ME * They hope to open the clinic "after the summer 2021", but the details are not finalised yet * They will be offering home visits to the severely ill...

A professor at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden stops researching covid-19 because of hatred and threats. KI om hoten: Aldrig sett så hårt tonläge https://tt.omni.se/ki-om-hoten-aldrig-sett-sa-hart-tonlage/a/QmjPP8 Google Translate, English ("KI about the threats: Never seen such a harsh tone")

Recording of the Buttonwood event:

The Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare has added a section on “post-infectious condition after covid-19” to their decision-support guidelines for medical insurance. Doctors can use this as a guide when prescribing sick leave. It can also be used when assessing a person’s ability to...

I finally got a copy! Thanks again, @Helene :hug:

The administrators of Sweden's largest(?) support group for people with covid and long covid on Facebook published a new FAQ/help post last week. I won't share too much since it's a private group, but I thought you might be interested to know that their first recommendation is GET. They...

Yesterday the regional board of Västerbotten decided on a supplementary budget, which according to the politicians means that a specialist clinic for ME/CFS in Umeå will finally become a reality. Politician LiseLotte Olsson comments on the decision, saying "It is very gratifying that we can now...

The constant highlighting of this made-up separation is clearly a pattern, at least here in Sweden. ME is simply not part of the discussion. Have a look at all the long covid related Swedish articles (news, medical, opinion pieces, governmental reports, politics, public health etc), and you'll...

Opinion piece in DN (Sweden's largest morning news paper) by doctors suffering from long covid themselves: DN: Sverige senfärdigt kring långtidscovid ("Sweden is late on long-term covid") https://www.svd.se/sverige-senfardigt-kring-langtidscovid/i/senaste

A couple more articles today in Sweden, about long covid. https://tt.omni.se/manga-med-langtidscovid-kanner-sig-misstrodda/a/OQjplO https://sverigesradio.se/artikel/flera-med-langtidscovid-kanner-sig-misstrodda-av-varden It doesn't sound like the National Board of Health and Welfare realizes...

Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Sweden is starting a long covid study. They will investigate what symptoms are common among those who have not been seriously ill, but have been having symptoms for a long time. More than 55 000 people will be invited to participate...

The Swedish government has proposed that 50 million SEK be earmarked for long covid research. The Swedish Research Council (Sweden’s largest governmental research funding body) has now been tasked to prepare for distributing the money...

An easy way to suggest it's all about a maladaptive stress response and unhealthy behaviour, maybe? Put the blame on the patient instead of the virus? The original news article they are referring to is behind a paywall.

Last week an independent group of Swedish physicians with long covid published clinical guidelines for long covid. http://www.langtidscovid.se There's a news article on this in the journal of the Swedish Medical Association: Läkartidningen: Läkare med långtidscovid publicerar kunskapsöversikt...
