ME/CFS + Long Covid Cocktail – a blog

I have Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (or ME/CFS)…and then I got long covid. Long covid (of the nervous system type) is being described as mirroring the way which ME/CFS is medically and socially disbelieved…mirroring the way in which ME/CFS have always been excluded from the medical system…mirroring the trauma of having to always defend how you feel, as if the weirdness of these central nervous diseases was somehow always your personal failure.

This is a blog about how it is to deal with long covid socially and medical, when you have already lived through – and are still inside of – the beast that is ME. If this was a cocktail of the beverage variety, it would have an impossibly long bitter after taste, potentially with an inextinguishable sambuca-flame to begin.

Don’t go quietly. Take space and demand to be seen.

ME/CFS + Long Covid Cocktail28th September 202228th September 2022

This post follows on from my last (link here) and continues the themes about battling for a diagnosis, medical gaslighting concerning to ME, long-covid and related neurological conditions.

(Not) Knowing Long-Covid Fatigue

ME/CFS + Long Covid Cocktail11th November 202012th November 2020

Long covid news of the day: The people who end up with long covid (as many as 1 in 5 covid cases do), are not the same as those vulnerable to severe, acute covid. The majority of long covid sufferers are under 45, and describe themselves as ‘youngish, fit, and healthy’. There are currently 3 […]

ME/CFS + Long Covid Cocktail23rd October 202029th October 2020

This blog is in timesoup. I can’t write straight forwardly about long covid like a diary would be, because the experience of long covid itself is not a linear or sequential matter. There is also a need to use what’s newly discovered about long covid to look back and understand what happened. I’m tackling a […]
