Living with #LongCOVID? 🛑 Stop. Rest. Pace. is key to managing #PEM

🔋 Think of your energy as a low-battery—use wisely:
• Stop early
• Rest often
• Pace everything

Rest can be silence, meditation, or 🤷‍♂️

Fellow #spoonies#chronicPain and #longCovid folks, I need your voice!

We have one more thing to do before we can shout #turtleBower from the rooftops:

We need your comments (wherever in the world you are) on the Why This Matters page so our invisible struggles to survive are seen and heard.

There's such a depth of need for safe, healthy housing and light support, I want to use the site to highlight that need. Build something better.

Boosts appreciated. 💖

In den letzten Monaten sind gleich mehrere Artikel über die Auswirkungen von #COVID19 auf das Gehirn erschienen. Es kann zu strukturellen Schäden und zu kognitiven Einschränkungen führen. Bei Menschen mit #LongCovid, aber auch bei Menschen, die die Infektion scheinbar schadlos überstanden haben. Bei älteren Menschen, aber auch bei jungen Studierenden und sogar bei Vorschulkindern und Babys, der Mütter sich am Ende der Schwangerschaft angesteckt haben.

Im Blog #AllCoronavirusesAreBastards gibt es einen Überblick:

Only took me 3 years to finish! It is 8x8 inches, 18 count Aida. Over 20,000 stitches/pixels. #crossstitch #embroidery #sewing#StarWars

I picked up cross stitch when sick with #LongCovid. As I got healthy, and ran out of a couple thread colors, I set it down. Did not pick it up until I went on vacation a couple weeks ago, and needed a project. And I finished it!

The pattern designer is Awesome Pattern Studio on Etsy, and they are a Ukrainian pattern maker. Love the use of color and color blocking. Have done a couple of her pieces and they are always striking.

Not sure I will do another all over cross stitch due to the amount of time they take, but I love the results.

An all-over cross stitch design, resembling a tapestry. The design is from Star Wars, and had 2 at-ats (tanks on long spindly legs with wide feet) walking on a beach. In the background is palm trees, the Death Star (that's no moon!) And a moon. The design is in a pixel art style, color blocked in shades of black, blue, gray orange and white.
