yall can you imagine the beautiful sky full of stars that was sparkling all night, every night, even 300-400 years ago? how incredible. how inspiring. what a shame our world has come to
To this day I still think “I wish squids were real” is the funniest example of ascended canon ever. Like, the first Splatoon game comes out, someone makes a Miiverse post just saying “I wish squids were real” (already peak comedy), “I wish X was real” becomes a meme in the Splatoon community and gets reposted everywhere.
[ ID: a digital, semi stylized painting of Nimona and Ballister from Nimona in a pale yellow forest against a white sky. Ballister stands in the center, smiling and with his eyes shining, as Nimona circles him, smiling with a frown. Forming a circle around him are her other forms, specifically a rat, a cat, a wolf and a deer, with sparkles and light around them.
Nimona is a young girl with light skin, red eyes and short, straight, red hair with shaved sides, wearing armor like clothing. She also has red dragon wings. Ballister is a broad man with medium tone skin, dark brown eyes, short, straight, black hair that’s slicked back and a mustache and goatee, wearing a dark jacket. He also has an eyebrow scar and a black prosthetic arm. /End ID ]
since so many people are asking for information on long covid, I might as well start from the most recently publicly released dysautonomia international videos (2022 conference) and work backwards, since the 2022 information on covid-19 is probably going to be more accurate than the 2021 or 2020 videos.
keep in mind:
most long covid involves post-viral dysautonomia, which has always existed. it basically means your autonomic nervous system got damaged after having a virus. for learning about post-viral dysautonomia as a whole, you do not need long covid specific resources.
BUT covid-19 does straight up cause brain damage and clotting problems in ways that might not apply to some/most other triggers of post-viral dysautonomia. covid-19 is pretty intense when it comes to long term damage to the body and is unique in that it can cause severe dysautonomia in a mild or asymptomatic infection. as in. you may never know you had covid-19, and might just wake up unable to walk one day, even if you were vaccinated. usually more severe of an infection = more likely to develop chronic illness. not with covid-19!
AND covid-19 is more likely to result in post-viral dysautonomia than most other triggers. covid-19 is the largest mass-disabling event in history. right now covid-19 is probably the biggest trigger of dysautonomia ever. so the current average dysautonomia patient either got dysautonomia after covid-19, or had their dysautonomia become way worse as a result of covid-19.
for things relating to testing for or treating POTS or MCAS or small fiber neuropathy or autoimmune conditions or other dysautonomia comorbidities that pop up after a covid-19 infection, you do not need to look at covid-19 specific resources. for years it has been understood that many chronic illnesses involve risk factors followed by a trigger event, and in the case of long covid, covid-19 is the trigger event.
realisation that i have used “suburbs” in the past to mean californian private communities instead of the many shapes a suburbian area can take across the world. i apologize
