Three years ago today the term #LongCovid was first used as a Twitter hashtag. A single tweet by a patient linked together a growing grassroots movement of people, who weren't recovering from covid. Across the world, we're still fighting for research and treatment of our disease 
#LongCovid as a disease concept first grew out of a collective, grassroots, international, patient-driven movement of Covid survivors in early—mid 2020. As a disease entity, LC was recognized by the WHO in August 2020 thanks to intense patient advocacy

Today Covid—Long Covid are—is among the most studied diseases in medical history. A search on the repository for scientific papers PubMed for *covid gives over 355,000 results. Papers include vast research on the long-term effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection

I talked to @aboutlongcovid about the rise of #LongCovid as a patient-led advocacy movement in early to mid 2020. I also highlighted the key role of the patient community on social media in fighting misinformation and providing key support to survivors

A note: the original piece was longer and was shortened for the blog format. The original story of #LongCovid rise is much longer! More info in the article attached. The role of digital advocacy is also more complex and deserves further attention

Some key pointers: #LongCovid was born as a patient-led advocacy and research movement in 2020. The patient-made name Long Covid— as an hashtag— helped to link the grassroots advocacy movement, which was growing in spring 2020 in different countries, like with #apresJ20 in France
.@felicitycallard and I have a new paper on #LongCovid
We show how patient activism and research reshaped #COVID19 well ahead of conventional science 🧵

#LongCovid is the term patients made to indicate the long-term symptoms and sequelae of #COVID19. Initial reports claimed Covid was a respiratory illness with estimated recovery in 2--6 weeks.
Patients built a global grassroot movement and successfully challenged this narrative.

Those with #LongCovid made key contributions to knowledge via multiple media, from Twitter to informal papers. Many of these risk exploitation/dismissal because they are outside the channels through which science is usually built
Thus, we bring solidity to patient made evidence

Last week we had the first meeting on #LongCovid in Italy.
We were pleased to receive full support from Italy's Ministry of Health @MinisteroSalute, with a formal letter that used the patient-made term Long Covid.

#LongCovid in children 🧵on Buonsenso et al 2021 (preprint)
A cohort of 129 pediatric #COVID19 patients from Italy
⏩ over 50% experienced long term symptoms
⏩ symptoms are similar to those seen in adults (chest pain, fatigue etc.)

⏩ long term symptoms in children (#LongCovidKids) can develop also after asymptomatic/pauci-symptomatic acute #COVID19 infection
⏩ 2.3% of sample developed #MISC (multi system inflammatory syndrome)
⏩ 1.6% of sample developed myocarditis: child ❤ can be affected

On the use of mast cell stabilizers in #COVID19 👇 with a list of publications starting to document positive results clinically
Mast Cell Activation #MCAS/ related mechanisms have long been discussed by #COVID19 #LongCovid patients has a potential issue beahind their symptoms

For more information and links to published papers 👇#MCAS #LongCovid #apresJ20 #covidpersistente #MitCoronaLeben #koronaoire @RafaelOsswald @Savolainen_J of specific interest?
Found this paper on Mast Cell Activation in #COVID19 interesting, at least in theory, because it links #MCAS to the multi-system inflammatory syndrome in children #MISC + blood circulation issues in capillaries
