Not that I can find so far.
Despite the boost in numbers, I think making the jump from reddit has been too labour intensive for LC/PASC and ME/CFS communities. It’s the one thing I still visit on reddit.
It’s not much, but I am beginning to put a bit of data on [email protected], and longhaulers are welcome there. It also collects mastodon toots on related hashtags.
On the surface it is an order. He’s using imperative sentence construction with no “please can you” and no question mark.
This is exactly how commands/orders are expressed in English.
“Do this” “Come here” " Go there" “Sit Down” “Give me 20 press ups”.
For example, myalgic encephalomyelitis (sometimes referred to as chronic fatigue syndrome) has been dismissed and under-researched for decades. The lack of research has perpetuated a limited understanding of the underlying biology, a lack of diagnostic testing, a lack of respect for patient experiences and an embarrassing lack of action. Research funding is extremely low relative to the burden of the disease and its prevalence.
About half of long COVID patients also meet the diagnostic criteria for myalgic encephalomyelitis. By our sheer number, our advocacy for more research and clinical trials should be harder to dismiss.
This is dismissed and underfunded world-wide.
The status quo - pretending it’s all in your head - is in the interests of insurance companies (and governments with disability welfare systems).
