Wisely, @HarvardHealth likens #LongCovid to chronic #Lyme. I pray research into persistent sxs #COVID19 pts face informs medicine abt other common infections that have long wreaked havoc around the globe, yet have long been ignored. @StevePhillipsMD @DrEricDing @dianaberrent

For the record, we must abolish terms like "post-viral" or "post-infectious" that can misinform treatment. Semantics matter. Pathogenic persistence should be kept on the table unless it is thoroughly ruled out. There are many chronic, stealth infections that go unrecognized.

And patients suffer needlessly. womenshealth.gov/blog/lyme-dise…

I deeply relate to this. After almost dying of ❤️ failure from #Lyme & being told by 11 “top” docs that in spite of my tick bite, bullseye, & classic symptoms, I could not poss still have it after a short course of doxy. Well, I did. 1/

And after the 12th doc saved my life (thx @StevePhillipsMD), I wrote my story in @HuffPost. I didn’t think anyone would care. But they did. The editor called & asked me to keep writing about this scandal as so many ppl were reading my story. 2/ huffpost.com/entry/how-11-t…

So I kept writing and began hearing from people all over the world, including a nurse from Ghana, who used my story to guide them back to health. I even interviewed celebrities who had gone through it like Daryl Hall. 3/ m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_11…

1/ I get that health care workers should be prioritized when it comes to wearing masks. And I get that there is a shortage, and that is very concerning and upsetting. I pray that changes in the coming days and weeks.

2/ However, the official messaging to the public that masks will not benefit them, and in fact, could harm them or that they are simply unnecessary, is extremely reckless and offensive in light of the CDC's own data (and common sense).

3/ I think it’s fair to caution the public not to hoard, & to let health care workers get them first. But I do NOT think the public should be lied to. This is a dire situation & we have a right to know the truth so we can make the best poss decisions for ourselves & families.
