People like Professor Bollocks could have, should have and probably DID know better. From the very onset we knew COVID was a vasculitis posing as a respiratory infection. It binds endothelial ACEII receptors. That's why the early tests were all wildly abnormal coagulation labs like D-dimer.

Yep. I have lupus and ANCA+  Vasculitis. Fingers crossed no flares since my kidney transplant about 18 months ago.

In the native kindney, this finding is most commonly seen in cryoglobulinemic vasculitis (which was the case for this patient). The differential diagnosis would include other forms of vasculitis such as ANCA-associated diseases.

If you've never been sick, let me tell you, being gaslit over your symptoms is very shitty.

I’m genuinely shocked at the people on here who think long covid isn’t real. Seriously? Your actuaries, departments of health even the freaking department of defense know it’s real. Apparently people used to think MS wasn’t real. There’s a long history of telling sick people they’re crazy.

Glad that I've got away relatively unscathed from the Campylobacter, abet for ruffled feathers. I was a little worried about it triggering a vasculitis relapse or that it would delay my start at uni. Lost ~2Kg in less than a week, 0/5 star diet, would not recommend.
