Kids are losing 'huge chunks' of their childhood to long COVID. Too many are being told it's 'all in their head.'

If I hear that idea from doctors one more time, I'ma lose my mind. I know several people who've been told that or had it insinuated about their chronic pain situations. These quacks need to get with the program.

Reading this reminds me of my post-mono hell in 10th grade Missed 40+ schooldays from late Sept to Xmas (not counting half-days), district declined at-home education, mom finally had to homeschool me for the rest of the year, our relationship is still fucked up from that 15+ years later

Long Covid is real and the quality of life these children and adults experience after initial diagnosis is heartbreaking. They know their body but yet are told it’s all in their head.

My kid couldn't taste food right for over a year but she was so little she couldn't explain what she was tasting, I can't imagine what preverbal or early verbal youngsters are experiencing right now.

Even psychosomatic illnesses can harm the body and the mind. I know this experientially…and I also know that long covid is real because half my friends have it

Well yeah it’s our brains and immune systems being inflamed, thanks for nothing once again from the Borreliosis patient community trying to get evidence in for 20+ years now. Can’t wait to hear the “lack of post-viral illness data” excuse again while we sit here with our *bacterial* illness damage!
