Having Long COVID in your file pretty much guarantees you can’t get care anymore in The Netherlands.
Did you see the interview yesterday with the head of the US NIH saying pretty strongly that the data is now pointing to Long Covid being viral persistence and that they need to start working on antivirals? If that ends up being true and they start trials on repurposing some, we might have some treatments in the future.
@healingfromlc I once read that the Netherlands are a lot of small countries that are internationally represented as one (kind of like the United Arab Emirates, or Russian Federation...). Is that true? Does each one have a different law, institutions and healthcare? 🤔
@healingfromlc Same in Belgium for #LongCovid & #MEcfs.
@healingfromlc Can you get it off? I have found zero benefits for having the diagnosis
@healingfromlc It's not a single country where I've been put and told I was put to die and in terrible pain after illegally arrested on December 10 2010 on leaving een Apotheek with 5 grams of Bedrocan, that is legal in the rest of NL but here they write that medical cannabis is illegal.
@healingfromlc In dit part van De Netherlands hebben we WildWestHolland.
@healingfromlc As best I could whisper back after 10 hours of torture, no doctor, and all medications taken from me, "That's death for me then!", I said. He shouted back, "We don't fucking care!". Nearly killed me and left me to die.
