Hi everyone. As you can see, I’m decked out in my #LongCOVIDAwareness gear. This week is our #LongCOVIDAwareness movement. March 15th is international #LongCOVIDAwarenessDay and it is used to bring recognition and elevate the status of the MILLIONS of people affected by the ongoing COVID crisis.

It’s Long COVID Awareness Day. An estimated 65 million people suffer from it globally. Remember that the risk of long-term health issues in multiple organs increases after each infection, even if your symptoms were mild.

Apparently it's #LongCovidAwareness day. I wasn't aware of that.
I talk about this regularly as it dominates my life, preventing me from doing nearly everything else, so I don't want to bore you.

I had ME/CFS before I had COVID and it was no life, but at least I could work. I can't now. You need to NOT GET COVID #LongCovid #covid
