#health problems
im young yet my body feels rotten and wasted like it’s already decaying ready to just become dust. i hate being pointed out that im young as if that means i must be perfectly healthy. i hate feeling like my body has failed me and im not like others. i hate my body and i hate myself
me, after experiencing the worst allergy attack in my life a couple of days ago: i feel better than yesterday, except my lungs feel a little slimy when i breathe in and my chest still feels tight
me: …
me: im really glad im going to the doctor in a week or so
More than 1 in 5 adult Covid survivors in the U.S. may develop long Covid, a C.D.C. study suggests.
One in five adult Covid survivors under the age of 65 in the United States has experienced at least one health condition that could be considered long Covid, according to a large new study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Among patients 65 and older, the number is even higher: one in four.
In an indication of how seriously the federal health agency views the problem of long Covid, the authors of the study — members of the C.D.C.’s Covid-19 Emergency Response Team — recommended “routine assessment for post-Covid conditions among persons who survive Covid-19.”
Long Covid is the term used to describe an array of symptoms that can last for months or longer after the initial coronavirus infection. The researchers identified post-Covid health problems in many different organ systems, including the heart, lungs and kidneys. Other issues involved blood circulation, the musculoskeletal system and the endocrine system; gastrointestinal conditions, neurological problems and psychiatric symptoms were also identified in the study.
I’m waiting for tech support with the mousepads. v-v’ Pillowcases - a few pre-ordered, more that I got in hopes of selling at next month’s cons - arrived though! Will unpack and photograph tomo- well, technically today? When the sunrises!
I have a plan to photograph ‘em using the big ol’ window upstairs to light them whilst they hang on the opposite side of the room. (Then put the pre-ordered pillowcases in boxes to await their companions for shipping! ‘w’)
Got a bunch of other stuff to photograph for my store and to show Patreon supporters the miscellaneous freebies they can pick for the thank you packages I’ve been itching to send out for the last, uh, 3 months? Longer? @___@ But I’ve been so low on spoons for so long and they’ve almost all gone to trying to manage/research my symptoms, cook/eat enough to not unintentionally lose weight again, do gentle exercises, and do the bare minimum (or less, really) house upkeep.
I have a tonnnn of specifics I could vent about with the health stuff but I’ll save that for another post.
