A community for people with Long Covid.
Rules
In addition to the below, please ensure you follow the Lemmy.world Rules.
1. This is a space for conversation about Long Covid
You can mention other issues, but try to stay on-topic.
2. Be inclusive, respect people and respect their experiences
Appreciate varied opinions, and communicate constructively in an attempt to understand. Do not argue, avoid making blanket statements, and do not continue a discussion just to get the last word or play devil's advocate. It's okay to give your opinion, but work to de-escalate rather than inflame and do not debate contentious topics at length.
3. Be kind, and make sure this is a safe environment for everyone
Hateful behaviour and bigoted speech is not welcome in our community. This includes but is not limited to inflammatory language based on race, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression, or physical or mental ability, or punching down against the marginalized.
4. Don't post NSFW material or language
If you think your post might bother some people, add a content warning to your post, or do not post at all.

MODERATORS
Have you considered that when you feel better you’re more likely to try hiking/travel to places with higher elevations? And you could be mixing up correlation and causation?
Or that many people with long COVID feel better in the short term (days weeks or months) after exercise due to adrenaline, but it sometimes leads to a long term worsening through PEM. As someone connected to a couple researchers and serving as advisor to a government research effort, I’m not sure I see anything worth spending the very limited resources researchers have here.
You might want to clarify what long covid subtype you have though so I can make a mental note incase I hear something similar from someone else with a similar subtype.
