I was recently asked to make a picture of my situation. Took the picture, looked at it and turned to my mom: “Isn’t this a bit extreme?” She: “This is what you regularly look like.” Which was a bit confronting to me as I do not often see it this way I think. #LongCovid

The little spot I made for Lauren. It’s over the top and funny (the bananas are an inside joke). This colour green was one of her favourite colours. Just like pastel pink for the 🌸. I showed it to her and she loved it, she liked the aesthetic. #DagLieveLauren #ReMEmberLauren

I often wonder what keeps people with #LongCovid & #MECFS going. I think it’s the immense lust for life that people have, they want to live so bad - yet so often they’re judged as the problem being them not having any lust for life anymore. It’s such a painful misinterpretation.

I’d hoped that I would sleep all day today. I took the highest dose of calming meds that I am aloud to take. But I woke up ‘early’ and cried immediately. Crushing heavy feeling immediately. Today is the first day that Lauren is not alive and I so don’t want that to be the case.

Ik ben weer helemaal klaar met de bureaucratie. #LongCovid 1. Liggend vervoer voor ziekenhuis: afgewezen. Ze vinden dat ik prima met rolstoelvervoer kan. Dat ‘tripje’ naar het ziekenhuis is omdat ik al 2 jaar niet op controle kan komen voor iets waarvoor ik elk half jaar -

I used to use this backpack everyday, for years. Just in a way you use a bag haha: to take things with you. For this one I don’t remember the last time I used it. /

How do you guys get rid of frustration or any build up emotion? Internally I crave to be really active: to go running, fast and long, to go boxing, to idk listen to very loud music, talk about it, etc Physically I’m unable to do any of this. How do you unload? #LongCovid

My mobility scooter. Bought it last summer. Had a few very lovely trips with it but unfortunately I got too ill to use it. So now it’s also catching dust in the garage. /

Now this is what I call a great present! @FvRhijn sent me a mug with the ‘Graded exercise should not be recommended for patients with post exertional malaise’ article on it. @AnilvanderZee and I were kindly put in the acknowledgments as we read and commented on an early draft.

Really awful how there is suddenly a wave of really despicable reactions to Lauren's latest tweet and also comments saying that all the people who offered her support would be 'celebrating' it. We still have a long way to go. 💔

Onwijs onder de indruk van @JasonErvD die op eigen initiatief in gesprek ging met 50 jongeren en een rapport schreef, omdat hij weet hoe hard het nodig is dat er iets gebeurt. Dan ben je een groots. Wel te bizar voor woorden dat dit nodig is om dingen aan de kaak te stellen.

Deze tweet is een petitie om als doel voor #SeriousRequest 2023 Long Covid & andere postinfectieuze aandoeningen te kiezen. @3FM Waarom? Impact van de ziekte is enorm. Overheid laat patiënten in de steek. Onderzoek komt niet van de grond: gebrek financiering/

In these moving boxes are apparently things I don’t use anymore because they still haven’t been unpacked. I had to move back in with my parents in December. I can’t unpack my boxes & my parents also don’t have the energy so the boxes are still in the hallway & the stuff unused. /

Ben vandaag in het ziekenhuis gaan liggen in de wachtkamer en ik ben best een beetje trots op mezelf dat ik dat gedaan heb. Vond het zo ongemakkelijk, en krijg sws al veel vervelende blikken van mensen maar hield het zittend zo slecht uit en dacht: ik moet liggen. Hielp echt.

Heel boos dat vriendin met ernstige #LongCovid nu weer covid heeft. De enige die ze ziet is thuiszorg. Ze komt letterlijk niet buiten - te ziek. Thuiszorg moet ze zelf voorzien van ffp2 & ze gaan er nalatig mee om. Zover gaat ‘kwetsbaren moeten zichzelf beschermen’. Het kan niet.

Als reactie op het stuk in het BD wat suggereert dat elke covid infectie je immuunsysteem ‘in vorm houdt’ deel ik graag even dit stukje waar onderzoeker David Putrino vertelt dat hij en zijn collega’s van Yale en Stanford precies het tegenovergestelde zien in onderzoek.

My 2023 wrapped: • Days spent in bed: 365 • Times I left the house: 1 - to the hospital with horizontal transport • People I've seen who aren't healthcare related or a carer: about 8 I think • Whole days with curtains fully open: 0 #LongCovid

It was bright. A colourful world, where things are alive, where you can really feel the ‘living’.

Yet I still often feel like I am still able to do a lot. But it’s a lot in comparison to the level of illness I also now some suffer with. It’s very little in comparison to a healthy person. I often forget that. What a healthy human can do.

We ( #pwme ) are VERY scared for #COVID19 patients who develop chronic symptoms, and have been talking about it since January. We want nothing more than to help spare them our fate.
