I had my booster on Thursday, the Moderna, my other three were all Pfizer. The nurse jabbing me said the Moderna covers the other variants, letâs hope so. Had a text inviting me to book it online, had a choice of four places to get it, the furthest was 3 miles away, booked the nearest which is just over a mile away at the Territorial Army HQ near Papâs old Manor. In and out in 5 minutes. A bit sniffly yesterday and arm a bit tender but back to normal today. The whole process couldnât have been easier, respect to the NHS and all who sail in her.

Friend of mine helps out there directing folk, and he says originally they stated they werenât doing walk ins, but later started doing them anyway - with the proviso they would only do walk ins until they ran out of vaccine.
You have to fill a form in, so he is distributing these to all and sundry so we can go prepared - he is going to let me know when they are doing walk ins.
Once I know for definite, I will post n here so at least we wonât have a wasted trip.

Out of interest, whatâs the problem with just booking it online for Oakley Road, if you live in Regents Park? Why do you have to find a walk in, theyâre open for weekend bookings if you arenât available in the week. Think you can even book Sundays.

Bit academic for us at the moment as weâve tested positive last Monday so will have to wait a month before we can have the booster.

Maybe I should create a âSuper Spreaderâ or âPatient Zeroâ badge?

Given that itâs only likely to be awarded once, can we call it the âTyphoid Philipâ badge?

OMG!
FINALLY!
Iâve managed 2 consecutive hours out of bed!
Gotta tell you, this government conspiracy shit sure does knock you out.
I posted before about the Daughter of a recently passed mentor & how she (Hannah) has worked to raise awareness of Long Covid.
So today I saw this.
He would have been so proud. What a legacy he left
Iâm honored to be on TIMEâs 2022 #TIME100NEXT list, with a kind write-up by Tim Kaine. https://time.com/collection/time100-next-2022/6213809/hannah-davis/
Thousands of people are getting #LongCovid each day, many of which lead to ME/CFS and POTS, two extremely debilitating lifelong neuroimmune/neurocardiologic illnesses. 1 in 13 US adults are currently experiencing Long Covid - almost as many as who have diabetes. Vaccination is amazing but doesnât meaningfully prevent LC, nor do previous infections; everyone is at risk. We need clinical trials & treatments urgently!
This award is a big responsibility & I will do my best to represent our communities well. So many patients with Long Covid & ME/CFS brought light to the illness & continue to fight for better research, resources, & treatment. We all deserve this recognition.
To everyone: please keep talking about Long Covid. Please talk to your friends, family, neighbors, government officials. Please learn about and circulate our major calls to action (https://docs.house.gov/meetings/VC/VC00/20220719/115020/HHRG-117-VC00-Wstate-DavisH-20220719.pdf), and research requests (https://patientresearchcovid19.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Towards-a-Patient-Driven-National-Research-Action-Plan.pdf). We need allies!
Thank you to everyone at the Patient-Led Research Collaborative and Body Politic, who make all of this work possible and transformative. And thank you to the wider Long Covid, ME/CFS, and disability communities. This is collective work. I hope this results in more awareness of viral-onset conditions and support for patient-led initiatives.

Please be careful of what you read and share.
POTS can in extreme cases be debilitating, most cases are not and most people lead completely normal lives. The condition tends to improve with age and strangely with exercise (not for everyone). Itâs not considered life limiting in any way.
How do I know? YoungAdult#1 has POTS.
Believe me, we researched the arse off it when we didnât know what was going on and consulted specialists.
YoungAdult#1 has a perfectly normal life, just takes minimal dosage beta blockers 
That I understand
Equally I will post her work as I have done since she 1st presented to the UN.
Hannah has no affiliation just doing what nobody else could
Have no problem with that - perhaps tell her she needs to give her head a wobble and actually research some of the assertions she makes.
The POTS example I mentioned was something I know about.
It seems sheâs not really researched some of the stuff sheâs banging on about. In the world of Google everyone can get an opinion on something and be completely wrong when they send their own âmessageâ.
A bit like Arsebook, people will believe what they read. Idiots will take it at face value as true - thatâs just incredibly sloppy - imho - Just saying - it makes me incredibly angry and âinfluencersâ should know better, but I guess it doesnât suit their, or their audience, to do so.
