Chin up, team. Take some time. Take care of yourself. Take care of your loved ones. Take care of your community.
There are a million ways to make a difference—get back in the fight when you’re ready.
And know that, whenever you are ready, I’ll be ready to get back in with you.

My modest debate proposal:.
I'll debate Trump any day ,inclusive of tomorrow.
I'll shall have the banjo of my choice.
Trump shall have his invisible concertina.
A portion of the debate will consist of a dance-off.
Neck ties shall not hang down below the participant's knees.
There will no use of " anonymous horses".
Likewise ,any statement that begins with " many people say" will result in a mild electric shock directly to a body part chosen by the opponent.
The language used will be American English, no foggy dementia inspired gibberish.
I think that covers my conditions.

How come you’re not showing medal ceremonies in Prime?
I have @peacock but my search for medal ceremonies comes up nil.
These ceremonies are great, event if the gold medal isn’t from the home country.
So thanks for the French swimmers ceremony… where’s the rest?

Dr. @zalaly's study and comment below are VERY IMPORTANT. Some of us have been saying for decades that post-acute infection syndromes, including #MECFS, #Dysautonomia and "chronic Lyme" are REAL and not due to anxiety, stress, deconditioning or FND. These syndromes were triggered by infection, which resulted in #chronicillness and disability for millions of people before #Covid pandemic. This phenomenon is not new: what IS new is the massive numbers of individuals now impacted by these syndromes after SARS-CoV-2 infection, making #LongCovid and all post-acute infection syndromes a major #PublicHealth issue.

The big revelation here is that the risk persists for 3 years in several organ systems (e.g. GI and nervous system) even 3 years after a mild infection.
Healthcare professionals are taught that acute infections as short-term events with health effects that manifest around the time of infection.
The data challenges those teachings and shows that mild Covid can still cause health effects even 3 years later.
Acute infections can have long-term health effects.
Covid continues to teach us something new at every turn and this is one very important new lesson.

Low-dose naltrexone (LDN) has been used to treat chronic pain. There is, however, no agreement on effective dosage, leaving clinicians without guidelines on initiating treatment with naltrexone.
A recent research study focused on understanding effective dosing for LDN through an observational study. It was found that the effective dose is highly individual, varying widely among individuals with chronic musculoskeletal pain.
The study suggests that clinicians should consider dosage titration (adjusting the dose) to establish the most effective dose for each patient, as the optimal dose can vary significantly, from 0.1 to 6.0 mg/day, indicating a personalized approach to treatment might be necessary.
