Rules

In addition to the below, please ensure you follow the Lemmy.world Rules.

1. This is a space for conversation about Long Covid

You can mention other issues, but try to stay on-topic.

2. Be inclusive, respect people and respect their experiences

Appreciate varied opinions, and communicate constructively in an attempt to understand. Do not argue, avoid making blanket statements, and do not continue a discussion just to get the last word or play devil's advocate. It's okay to give your opinion, but work to de-escalate rather than inflame and do not debate contentious topics at length.

3. Be kind, and make sure this is a safe environment for everyone

Hateful behaviour and bigoted speech is not welcome in our community. This includes but is not limited to inflammatory language based on race, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression, or physical or mental ability, or punching down against the marginalized.

4. Don't post NSFW material or language

If you think your post might bother some people, add a content warning to your post, or do not post at all.

I can't get researchers interested, but in the 4+ years I've been working on this myself, the higher the elevation I'm at the better I feel.

Just tried 10k feet for a month and it's better than 8k. If I could try 12k, I would. I did more hiking steps than ever in July, and on steep terrain.

I'm wondering if cells in a hypoxic situation are less useful to the virus we now know* resides in neurons of LC carriers.

I still have ridiculous sinus production at times that tries to drown me, various attacks on my organs, etc.

I remember living in the desert and people were there because a family member had TB and they moved there. Perhaps mountain climate will be recognized as a tonic for LC some day.

If anyone wants help, I'll try, but I'm doing lots of things at once, mostly unchanged.

Long Covid teachers join forces to sue ministers (out.reddit.com)

Scores of teachers with “catastrophic” long Covid plan to launch a group legal challenge against the government, claiming pandemic policy failures led to them being infected at work.

But a top barrister representing medics in a similar case warned it would be difficult for teachers to prove they caught coronavirus in the classroom.

Long Covid Educators for Justice (LCEJ) wants compensation from the Department for Education for those who “lost their health, income and employment” after working on the frontline during the pandemic.
