Porquerias | 1312 | 🏴🌵 G@MNow that people are realizing that Long COVID is real, I see a disturbing trend that seeks to minimize just how common it is and restrict the definition of long COVID to the most severe cases. Nobody has to be "bedridden" or "housebound" to be experiencing the effects of long COVID or be disabled by it. I literally am not as able as I used to be, that's me being disabled by long COVID.
If y'all really want to know how it affects me, like the asshole who got me sick by coughing at me unmasked in class did, that's kinda not your business. If it was your business I would tell you that I used to walk 8-12 miles a day for work, while lifting, bending, and stooping. It was an 8 hour workout daily. When I got COVID I rested for as long as I could, stayed out for two weeks, then came back half as fast. My productivity was measured in units per labor hour. It was halved by COVID.
When I got shit canned I am pretty sure it was just an excuse to fire me for being disabled by the virus I had effectively no protection from given that the CDC told us essential workers to wear cloth masks and none of the customers would even wear them. Ever since it's gotten worse, like just doing the dishes and laundry and making food, or like vacuuming my studio apartment, takes me the fuck out. My heart randomly beats too fast and makes me feel like I am going to pass out.
Omega_Scribet (has moved)@galletasalada I am sorry you are in such a terrible condition.😞
I myself never had #POTS but I've read that people who do have it, and have that same tendency of passing out when getting up and/or do an activity, can avoid passing out by turning on this 👇 free app the moment they get up/do something.
The app seems to be quite unique, well, so they say, 'there's nothing that works so well'.
You do need an iPhone and an Apple watch.
@Omega_Scribet We really need Free and Open Source health tracking tech because while I own some Apple products I do not own those and it would be about a $1500USD investment to get them
@galletasalada I agree, health tracking apps should be free and open source.
