Recently I was surprised, therefore, when someone I usually look to for level-headed, logical, data-supported analyses was convinced that \u201clong covid\u201d was purely an anxiety-related disorder.<\/p>\n

Since I follow several (real, credentialed, not-quacky, not grifters) physical therapists and neurologists on Twitter, for Long Covid Awareness Day I was treated to a festival of retweets from real patients who fit that same profile of such a stark before and after. I\u2019d like to share a few of those, so you can see how I came to believe this is a real physical illness, even though my own experience with covid was unremarkable.<\/p>\n

This is not about policy positions. We can acknowledge a disease exists and still disagree on the best public health initiatives for dealing with it.<\/p>\n

As you\u2019ll see, the group below consist of both high-performance athletes and ordinary people who lived physically active, socially-engaged, satisfying lives prior to getting sick. Some were high-achieving professionals, some were more happy-go-lucky. Not all of these are verifiable, but I think there are enough leads to get you started if you\u2019d like to research the topic.<\/p>\n

For the moment this is going to be mostly just a link list, because I\u2019m getting glitches if I embed all the tweets. But here are three that caught my eye to get you started, and then you can click on more if you\u2019re curious.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 3\/17\/23:<\/strong> I compiled a thread on Twitter that matches the list below, and also corrected the one accidental duplicate that I found. Go here to scroll everyone in a single pass: https:\/\/twitter.com\/JenFitz_Reads\/status\/1636624699743412227<\/a>. One of the accounts looks like it went private, but I left it in the list as that may be a temporary change.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore catching Covid in late October 2020, I could walk on my hands for over 20 seconds. Now, I have to limit how much I walk on my feet. Let\u2019s dismantle the myth that healthy people can\u2019t become chronically ill with Long Covid. I\u2019m among many who have.\u201d<\/p>\n**

\u201cMe in my element! I miss doing a lot things prior to #LongCovid but nothing compares to the joy of competing and teaching the game that allowed me to travel the world, get an education and develop lifelong relationships.\u201d<\/p>\n**

\u201c#LongCovid has affected nearly every organ system in my body since 2020. Once someone who saved lives daily as a cardiologist, I\u2019ve found myself in a years long fight for my own.<\/p>\n**

** **If that\u2019s got you interested, I assure you there\u2019s quite a lot of research into the biology of long covid, and it is turning up results. For leads, here\u2019s a quick list of random studies that popped up when I did a search on \u201clong covid research vascular\u201d:<\/p>\n
