Today I showered. And I mixed a meatloaf.
These previously each alone would have been A LOT in one day.
I also put the meatloaf in the oven and microwaved potatoes and peas. I got help putting food on plates and taking the meatloaf out of the oven.
But look what I did! #MECFS #LongCovid

I am just a microscopist with social anxiety. But seeing #Covid impact on the brain through the lenses of the microscope has affected me. It’s hard not to feel for the millions sick everywhere.
Below is a 2021 video about our research. Can we please keep talking about #LongCovid?

Long COVID can cause persistent gut problems, including diarrhoea, abdominal pain, nausea, constipation and IBS. Around 22% report GI symptoms and 10% diarrhoea. Possible causes include immune activation, gut barrier disruption and microbiome changes, but more research is needed.
