🧵 Got active yesterday. Compelled to move. Couldn't sleep afterwards. Too tired to write since. Can't sleep again tonight. Awake in bed for hours. Resting heart rate thumping into the 90s. Oxygen saturation dipping into the 80s. #LongCovid#MECFS#LongCovidDiaries /1
In a system that forces us to fight for help, I fight for validation. Benefits assessors tell us we don't qualify. Medical professionals suggest it's in our heads. Governments are not interested. I am but one of many. /2

🧵 4 hour sleep. Awake with return of sensation like a mild and clunky AC current inside me, most prevalent in head and neck. Meditated a little but find it hard to be present in stillness with this symptom. It doesn’t let me sleep either. #LongCovid#LongCovidDiaries#MECFS /1
Staying in bed with Twitter, Facebook, music and writing. Pulse rate as low as 49. Oxygen saturation still low at 92%. Sweet message from dear old friend who lives in Australia. It’s good to reconnect with someone from the adventurous and wild days of my youth and early 20s. /2
