Risk of long COVID reaches 37% after three infections, according to INSPQ https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/2116352/covid-longue-sras-cov2-pandemie-risque According to theINSPQ, about 16% of health care workers surveyed reported symptoms for more than 12 weeks after a COVID-19 infection. For...

The National Institute of Public Health of Quebec has recently (document says June 2024 but I had not seen anything about it until a news article was published yesterday) published a study of health care and social workers on Long Covid prevalence. At first I thought it was based on the...

And it can happen after minor exertion that isn't even close to strain muscles enough to be sore. I mentioned it some time ago, I've been doing a bit better and doing some minor weight lifting for about 8 months now, and I'm still stuck at 15 lbs weights and can only do so once every couple days...

Hitting just the right amount makes some of my symptoms easier to endure, especially lessens pain. At family events for example it's a good way to be able to chat. But that amount is small, going over it is awful, and I feel awful afterward, generally for a few days. No excessive reaction, but...

Same :(:thumbsdown:

There's a damn horse in the damn hospital and the jackasses who let it loose are still wasting their time on barn door designs.

"Evidence-based" yet again turned into a joke, literally the equivalent of "some other like-minded people said so". But this makes about as much sense as using whipped cream to fix a plumbing leak. And again the very make-up of the study represents a filter effect as huge as doing a pragmatic...

Good news. Switzerland solved Long Covid. Well, the government sent out pamphlets to raise awareness. Only took them 4 years. Surely it will be solved quickly. Because if there's something that emphasizes the urgency of a public health crisis, it's definitely sending a pamphlet years later and...

I assume he did. His credentials are good enough to sound convincing to someone who doesn't know better. Which all really cheapens out the value of those credentials, makes them in fact pretty much nil, but that's a problem for later. Just like the problem with all the lying about immunity debt...

Given the context of the discussion and clipping only some parts of Garner's, this is truly impressive propaganda. It rarely gets any more in-your-face even in dictatorships with regime-friendly media owned by friends of the dictator. This is the opposite of serious news media.

Reality appears to be slowly asserting itself. After following the human tradition of doing every possible mistake many times over, with many variations on the themes and doubling down several times over, some reason might begin to peek through the veil of nonsense. Can't say this is...

There is no real research happening on this so most likely yet another open label pragmatic trial. Same as it ever was. It's a field in perpetual renewal that exists only to continue doing the same thing. Not things. Thing. The one thing they always do in loops: trying to prove themselves, and...

This is still the most likely way this gets solved. The rare combination of having the money and the connections to spend them wisely, combined with the motivation to do something about it. The institutions of medicine have proven to be immensely disappointing in every aspect so far. They can't...

Their 'reasoning' is "illness without disease". It satisfies the surrounding if(x) statement where x = we are not actually ill. They often say that they believe we are experiencing the symptoms we think we are, but they only mean by that that we do have psychological conversion of distress...

Compensation for first responders suffering health problems from working on 9/11 took about 20 years. Can't remember when but it was only something like 3-4 years ago that it passed through the US congress. Similar with the burn pits and some other health issues from environmental hazards during...

Oddly arbitrary. Also at this point remission and recovery are rather rare so they will be especially useless. The trend over recent years and the data from LC has been that 3 months is more than enough. I guess this is one way of triaging people to reduce demand, but since the overall policy is...

Some info on two funded projects at Western University, Ontario: Western researchers closing in on treatment for long COVID. The first project aims to identify the patient subtypes – clusters of people with long COVID grouped by shared characteristics – and biological mechanisms of this chronic...

That's the two I was thinking of! You're amazing. Thanks!

It's especially interesting as alcohol consumption is generally associated with mental illness, depression and distress. Whether it's accurate or not is hard to tell, and I frankly wouldn't put much trust in the health care industry's ability to research this competently, which is really a...
