If there are any other Long Covid clinics in Houston, I am unaware of them. Fourth largest metropolitan area in the country. Millions of people, even by lowest estimates of LC in population, there have to be hundreds of thousands of us here. 7/7. #MECFS #PACS #LongCOVID
In Jan 2026, BCM rescheduled me from April 2026 to FEB 2027. Reason given "Dr [] is out, and we have very few Providers for this Clinic, I have you on our wait list." Their web site still exists, so hopefully their clinic is still running. 6/
At the same time I booked UTHH LCC, I booked at Baylor College of Medicine's Post Covid Care Clinic, just in case, since I knew clinics were closing everywhere.. 9 month wait. Appointment in April 2026. Kept it on the books just in case UT falls through. 5/
A few weeks after my first appointment at UT Health Houston LCC, that long covid clinic closed down, doctors returned to their original department, losing all their experienced long covid support staff. My doc continues to see existing patients - I am lucky! 4/
...to find out what new treatments were available. I followed up at 1 year and was told "The Post-COVID Care Clinic has transitioned out of its area and is no longer able to offer follow-up visits." Referred to UT Health Houston long covid clinic. Only 2 month wait due to a cancellation! 3/
...Got in to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester after several months' wait in 2024. Consultation clinic only - they worked me up, provided several remote education sessions after I was home, provided a dense 16 page report of things to try for my PCP. Said I could follow up with them annually... 2/
A researcher found that only 30 out of 400 clinics offering #LongCOVID care in the US responded to multiple attempts to contact them to ascertain whether they still provide Long COVID care. Reported in @thesicktimes.org at clinics.thesicktimes.org

Summer Glau's was posted to Nathan Fillion's Instagram on Monday. And I'm personally hoping they'll acknowledge that the movie doesn't exist!
never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.
Hyperion helped break me of my young-person insistence that I had to finish every book I started, no matter how much I hated it.
I am so sorry for your loss. I do not know, but am following so I can add the charity/ies to my list.
Like I said, all I was doing was answering your question what was meant by 'smaller generation.' Not defending crappy people in my generation, of which there are many. It could also be argued that Millennials NOT voting bears some responsibility for the outcome.
Not agreeing with tiny&boxed in, not agreeing with Trump support. We're a smaller generation because fewer of us were born than in surrounding generations: www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...
Always nice when someone extends their sincere.

Two of my orchids survived my winter neglect, but aren’t showing any interest yet in blooming this year. So I treated myself to a new friend. #bloomscrolling

I'm 29% of the way through this new anthology (you may have heard of it? :-)) and am really enjoying it. It isn't quite what I was expecting, but I think it's what I needed right now. Thank you very much for it! app.thestorygraph.com/books/f1fac4...
I read the “SAVE Act” (the GOP’s new voter suppression bill) so you don’t have to. This is my one page summary. Jesus it’s bad. 1/
Would this be disenfranchising disabled voters? Millions of Americans are disabled with long covid, for one example. If the purge occurs near the deadline... I am physically unable to go be in a long line without further damage to my health, potentially long-term and permanent.
a woman reached out to donate 500,000 delta skymiles to get people home to MN as they are released from custody in TX.
we're getting flights booked today. it should be enough to get at least 15 people home.
delta should be doing for free since they take ICE money.
