I and @felicitycallard recount the history of early #LongCovid advocacy, patient-led research, and activism in "How and Why Patients Made Long Covid" We submitted on 23 August 2020, only twp days after the @WHO openly recognized Long Covid https://t.co/8jTXxAX8xK
I hope patient-led expertise is centred in our fight against the long-term effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection. We asked for this already in 2020, but response from policy makers has been patchy, with the dramatic consequences we see today #LongCovid https://t.co/8jTXxBeJpi
In our peer-reviewed piece on the rise of #LongCovid as a term and advocacy movement, @felicitycallard and I describe Long Covid as a prolonged disease, that could originate from "mild" covid cases which were actually severe, even life threatening https://t.co/8jTXxAXGni

@VicJules69 @TheRubyKennedy ty. The ref for that is listed here: https://t.co/whrO8g7xlv they say "Patients, many with initially 'mild' illness, used various kinds of evidence and advocacy to demonstrate a longer, more complex course of illness.." so it may have been psychosomatic. Interesting though.
