🧵 contains important info about #LongCovid helpful to me or is being researched to determine if may be helpful. Not on ALL suppl’s below, but many. LC since 9/4/20. 2022 suffering much less. Attribute to many things but pacing CRITICAL for me.🌞💜

Good night

Our Department has approved North Carolina’s request for the first $100M in emergency funding to help restore transportation in the aftermath of Helene. Further support will follow as the administration works with states and communities at every step along the path to recovery.

Carbonated drinks, both with sugar and artificially sweetened, were linked with a 22% increased chance of having a stroke. ctvnews.ca/health/frequen…

In El Embarcadero, lines of patient locals await their hot WCK meal of picadillo de carne with veggies and rice. This charming town, nestled on the banks of a beautiful lagoon, was spared by Hurricane Otis last year but suffered significant damage when Hurricane John caused the nearby river and lagoon to overflow. #ChefsForMexico

@RajeevJayadevan Only ~30% of the population sees an ⬆️ in serum/blood cholesterol when eating dietary cholesterol such as eggs. But some of those 30% do see a large rise in LDL. Chol from eggs encourages large fluffy LDL particles that don’t get lodged in vessels like small, dense particles.

720 eggs a month lowered LDL cholesterol in a Harvard student scientist. He did this while on Keto diet, the biggest drop (18%) came after adding carbs. I am attaching my detailed article on cholesterol, read the whole thread to understand the topic. 1/8 nypost.com/2024/09/25/lif…

The Magician Club has an ice cream stand at the Oktoberfest . They can make a root beer float.

Things I’ve learned from appointments with #pwME #LongCOVID #VaccineInjuries #POTS and other chronic illnesses: 🧵 1. The energy cost in preparing for the appointment is significant. 2. The energy cost in getting to the appointment is significant.

@DeansKevin I saw a doc at MayoClinicAZ who dimmed the lights for me when he saw I was worn out from morning testing. It was so helpful and so very much appreciated. He also had a mask on which I also appreciated. 🌞

6. Simple adjustments, e.g. letting the patient lie down, or dimming the lights, may help. Don’t assume what will help: ask. Please feel free to add the things I’ve forgotten, or maybe haven’t learned yet!

Today, I watched my older daughter’s soccer team win, I also supervised the putting up of our Halloween decorations, and took moon to a park so he could play with other dogs. Thank you for today. Good night moon.

I was up in Springfield, Ohio this afternoon. I drove from the west side to the east side through city center (down High Street). I drove by grand houses and not so grand housing. I saw people living peacefully together. Springfield is doing just fine folks. Y'all calm down.

@SalvMattera In 2021 my moms internist who mostly treated elderly patients said he thought many of his patients had long covid but he didn’t tell them he thought so. Not sure why he didn’t tell them. I remember asking him why he didn’t but I don’t recall his exact answer. Maybe bc no tx? 🤷🏼‍♀️

I think the vast majority of people with long COVID don't know that they have long COVID. They just have unexplained insomnia, sudden inability to drink alcohol, heart issues that their doctor tells them is "stress", and unusual fatigue that they blame on "aging".

WCK is fortunate to have multiple helicopters assisting with meal deliveries in hard to reach communities as we work to feed people in response to Hurricane Helene. Once we drop off food, water, and supplies, the choppers are open to help in other ways on return trips. Chef José recently gave a FEMA Urban Search & Rescue Team a lift after one of their missions in Bat Cave, NC. #ChefsForNorthCarolina #ChefsForFlorida #ChefsForTennessee #ChefsForGeorgia

I lost my mood ring. I'm not sure how I feel about it.

The most physically and psychologically devastating disease I’ve ever seen that isn’t cancer because it doesn’t kill you. It just destroys your life.
