Honoured to have recently been invited to the POTScast, hosted by the good folk at Standing up to POTS.
You can listen here if you want to listen to a wee journey about why we get thirsty in #POTS #LongCovid #PostVac #MECFS, and how that relates to ecstasy and astronauts:

Pfizer says it will price Covid treatment Paxlovid at nearly $1,400 for a five-day course, which researchers estimate only costs Pfizer $13 to produce.
That's a 10,000%+ markup. Shameful.
Latest Quick Guide is up, all about ME:
https://lc-sc.co.uk/quick-guides
Hopefully helpful for anyone suffering this debilitating condition to show to their doctor to help them understand the basics.
Ofc being a quick guide means these lack detail & nuance
Patients oft find drs havent even heard of their illness so the purpose is to address that with the absolute basics & be readable within an appointment
Hopefully this aim is achieved. Let me know!
And ofc, if you want to chat about long covid, postvac & related (ME, MCAS, POTS, microclots etc), you can book an appointment here👇🏻

I aim to help with understanding, what tests to ask for, results, treatment ideas etc
I've made a start on creating some "quick guides".
First is on MCAS - you can view/download here👇🏻
https://lc-sc.co.uk/quick-guides
Quick guides cover:
What the condition is
Common symptoms
Diagnostic criteria
Testing
Treatment options
Links to guidelines/resources
When you go to print, there should be an option to print as a booklet.
Originally I wanted one page leaflets, but this was too messy to get even the bear basics in, so hopefully a short few-page guide is an adequate compromise and helpful
Rare link between coronavirus vaccines and Long Covid–like illness starts to gain acceptance

Recognition for #postvac increasing, yet narratives still focused on concerns about fuelling antivax rather than the harm NOT discussing this causes to the vaccine injured, and the mistrust this fuels
