Hiya, since most illnesses have too few people who use lemmy to have a nice community, I created this community for everyone with a chronic illness.

If you want to be added as mod, please just ask!

❤️

The study could also help researchers create diagnostic tools for evaluating which patients have Long COVID induced by autoimmunity so that doctors can identify who is most likely to benefit from treatments such as these.

Iwasaki plans to continue researching why and how autoantibodies might cause Long COVID, as well as conduct randomized clinical trials on promising treatments. She is also conducting similar antibody transfer studies in other post-acute infection syndromes, such as myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).

How to use links?

If you're having problems with some links (such as a "community not found" message), see the FAQ on this post. I had to remove the dual links due to the character limit.

Notes:

  • I'm not vouching for any of these communities, check at your own discretion. Some of them are abandoned or inactive, so if you see one without activity that might be interesting, consider bringing it back to life and crosspost here. Communities with no content whatsoever aren't included.

  • Work in progress - let me know if you know of new communities that aren't in the list, or if you have other feedback.

(1) Kbin is a different network from Lemmy. Interactivity may be limited or delayed.

(2) These instances aren't federated with lemmy.world. To interact, you need to have an account on an instance that federates with them.

Important: Some instances may gravitate towards politics or philosophies different from your own. Inclusion of a health community of any instance does not mean endorsement of that philosophy.

How the hell am I supposed to live? This isn't even enough to cover rent in my area. I have a move-out date of August 31st and I have no clue what we're going to do.

I don’t blame them at all, their working conditions are untenable and I wouldn’t want to work for Local Healthcare Monopoly either. But it feels like if you can even find any doctor at all in my area (and many people can’t) it’s just temporary and always in question. I really liked this person, too. They said they are going to reassign me to someone else when they can, but they don’t know when or who. I feel so stressed. It’s almost comical how much things have fallen apart in the past several years.
