@longcovidanswers.bsky.socialWhy is recognizing PEM so important in Long COVID?
Post-exertional malaise (PEM) is more than ordinary fatigue. As Professor Todd Davenport explains, recognizing PEM can help clinicians understand why exercise may worsen symptoms rather than improve them.

@meassociation.org.ukNews Medical: Severe long Covid associated with distinct oral and lung microbiomes
"A study of more than 700 people has shown that those with long Covid have distinct differences in the mix of bacteria that live in their mouths and lungs"
@stpaulsbay.bsky.social@stpaulsbay.bsky.social@longcovidanswers.bsky.socialCould blood vessel damage help explain the many symptoms of #LongCOVID?
Prof Resia Pretorius and Prof Doug Kell discuss their research into abnormal clots, inflammation and vascular damage, and how these changes may affect the microcirculation and oxygen delivery.
@apresj20.bsky.socialMerci à Pauline Oustric et à toutes les personnes impliquées dans cette démarche pour avoir porté cette expérience au niveau européen.

Excited to be building new connections, exploring collaborations, and hopefully expanding Long Covid research in China. 🇨🇳
@longcoviduk.bsky.social@longcovidanswers.bsky.socialCould the gut play a bigger role in #LongCOVID and #MEcfs?
Prof Eva Untersmayr explains how changes to the gut barrier and microbiome may contribute to low-grade inflammation.
Her team has found these changes in both Long COVID and ME/CFS patients.
@longcovidanswers.bsky.socialRomina Foster Bonds shares the extraordinary response to the tirzepatide #LongCOVID trial.
1,058 participants enrolled in 73 days, with ~95.5% completing all surveys at 6 months.
People with Long COVID want answers. They’re ready to contribute to research.
@namememuff.bsky.social💩-y nonsense, I want to give each of the “ANTI” crowd all of MY health & life altering “complications” to see if living with my #LC reality would change them. Just because they say they don’t have or believe in Long Covid doesn’t mean I don’t. #HHS #MAGA #CovidIsStillAThing #LongCovidResearch
