My D is currently in floods of tears, after call with her chronic pain team. The psychotherapist in the team said she needs to be in school for lesson every day, building it up to more lessons, yes it will be tough, she will have chest pain, over stimulation,
headaches, fatigue etc, but needs to be in school. They feel that part of her long covid is due to her anxiety and bullying issues at schools so she needs to go in and face them and put up with feeling ill.

“My heart is hurting for my 10yo d. She has been on activity restriction for almost two weeks now due to chest pain, dizziness, headaches and irregular heartbeat. I had to pull her out of school Monday because they called me 3 times in one week to pick her up due to
these symptoms. She will be on the activity restriction until she sees the cardiologist sometime next week. Tonight she had a little breakdown. She is over this restriction and just wants to be an normal kid. She kept saying she just wants to play and do stuff. #LongCovidKids

My 11yo got C in August. Since then she has good /bad days, spiked fever 3 x. The pediatrician will write a letter to cover a few days,they have decided to do some testing due to these weird headaches she's having and she has an MRI scheduled. She has missed 10
My 11yo got C in August. Since then she has good /bad days, spiked fever 3 x. The pediatrician will write a letter to cover a few days,they have decided to do some testing due to these weird headaches she's having and she has an MRI scheduled. She has missed 10
of school already and now the school is sending me letters about her absences. What am I supposed to do? I'm not sending her to school sick and her Doctors won't cover every day she has been out. I can hope that she gets better and stays that way but if this continues she could
miss a lot more. How do I handle this with the school so I'm not being threatened with court all the time because I'm doing the right thing and taking her to the doctor and keeping her home when she has a "flare up"?

One mother describes her daughter
“16 yo d.... diarrhoea for 10 mths, legions for the same amount of time, agonising abdominal pain, spinal pain, hip pain, walking on
crutches, fever constantly, head ache, racing heart beat, loss of sight and hearing on right side, brain fog and absolutely overwhelming exhaustion!”
This is the 4th time we have seen this in our group.
Each time the child has been accused of self harm.

“ 8 different antibiotics, 9 Antivirals, many many swabs taken only coming back with anything if a sore is oozing and infected.
Sores tested for Impetigo a few times, shingles, other herpes virus - negative. So many swabs, bloods tests and now a biopsy”🙁
