Je viens de lire «Le Combat Continue» de Lili Covlo, une ado qui décrit sa vie avec un covid long.

#covidLong#longCovid#liliCovlo

I am physically and mentally destroyed today. The heatwave has decimated me.

Pain - bad.
Fatigue - very bad.
Sensory overwhelm - at meltdown point.
Headache - bad.
Dizziness & lightheadedness - bad.
Heart/chest pain - very bad.

Today's mission is simply "survive," and if I survive without a meltdown that will be a miracle.

It's Disability Pride Month, but honestly—I'm angry.

I use the elevator due to Long Covid, and I still get comments like "Just one floor? Take the stairs." Mostly from older, white, male coworkers outside my team. My direct colleagues get it. Others? Not so much.

Invisible disabilities are real. I'm tired of justifying my needs.

If you've faced this or have tips on handling it, please share.

I’ve known about Sip Valves for a while (valves you add to your face mask which allow you to drink through a straw while maintaining the seal) but I’m excited to finally find a UK supplier!

You can transfer them to different masks too… #CovidIsntOver #LongCovid
