>>13085121I agree that sometimes fibro/pots/ehlers-danlos/lyme's are self dx'ed by females with psychosomatic depression (or lazy women whatevs), but long covid does appear to be real based on the tests i've seen. spikes in pulse, nadirs in o2 sat, wonky clotting factors... can't fake that shit
of course it'll also probably be self dx'ed by females with psychsomatic depression too. lyme is also real and can cause vague symptoms and when people self dx it it becomes a fucking headache for doctors getting hit up for doxy when all the ELISAs keep coming back negative. "but it's just hiding" shut the fuck up, becky.
tkdr
POTS: drink more water moron
Ehlers-Danlos: real but extremely overdx'ed Fibro: probably not real
Lyme: incredibly fucking real w/ positive ELISA.
Long covid: real
