Kevin Rodriguez+FollowCats Crack the Long COVID Code?!Turns out, our feline friends might hold the key to solving long COVID! Scientists discovered that a rare cat disease (FIP) acts a lot like long COVID in humans—messing with the immune system even after the virus is gone. The wild part? A new therapy using special stem cells helped cats bounce back, calming their immune systems. This could be a game-changer for people struggling with long COVID. Who knew cat science could help humans?! #Health #BodyHealth #LongCOVID525Share
William Vasquez+FollowCovid’s Sneaky Long-Term Side EffectsEver feel like you just couldn’t bounce back after having Covid-like symptoms? You’re not alone—researchers found that 1 in 5 people still didn’t feel like themselves nearly a year later! Physical health might recover in a few months, but mental well-being takes way longer. Turns out, even if you tested negative, you could still feel off for months. Docs are being urged to focus more on mental health after these illnesses. Wild, right? #LongCovid #MentalHealth #CovidRecovery7231Share
Roger Franco+FollowKeke Rosberg Opens Up: F1 Legend in IsolationTough news for F1 fans—’82 champ Keke Rosberg, the original Flying Finn, has revealed he’s battling long Covid and severe isolation, which has kept him away from the paddock. Keke’s honesty about his health struggles is a reminder of how even legends can face tough times. He also reflected on the emotional moment when his son, Nico, clinched the 2016 title after that epic rivalry with Hamilton—then retired without warning. Anyone else miss seeing Keke around the grid? #F1 #KekeRosberg #LongCovid #Sports20Share
Joel Sweeney+FollowLong COVID in Kids Isn’t What You ThinkTurns out, long COVID hits little kids differently than adults—and even varies by age! New research found that toddlers (0-2) with long COVID are more likely to have sleep issues, fussiness, and stuffy noses, while preschoolers (3-5) mostly deal with dry coughs and low energy. Over 40% of kids in the study had lingering symptoms. Wild to think almost 6 million US kids could be affected—more than have asthma! Makes you wonder if COVID shots for kids should really be on the chopping block. #LongCOVID #Parenting #HealthNews #Health20Share
Melanie James+FollowVaccine Spike Protein Lingers for Months?!Researchers found that the S1 spike protein from COVID vaccines can stick around in certain immune cells for up to 245 days in people with long-lasting post-vax symptoms (think fatigue, brain fog, weird heart stuff). The symptoms and immune changes look a lot like Long COVID, but the study’s small and doesn’t prove causation. Still, wild to think the vaccine’s spike protein could hang out in your body for that long! More research needed, but this is definitely one to watch. #VaccineResearch #LongCovid #HealthNews4833Share
Chris Lyons+FollowOpioid Drug Shows Promise for Long COVIDA drug usually used for opioid addiction—low-dose naltrexone—might be a game-changer for Long COVID. Researchers found it helps 'fix' faulty cell doors (ion channels) in Long COVID patients, letting cells work properly again. This could mean better immune response, less pain, and improved brain function for millions still struggling with symptoms. Clinical trials are underway, but this could be the breakthrough so many have been waiting for! #LongCOVID #HealthNews #MedicalBreakthrough #Naltrexone #ScienceUpdate #Health6395Share
Jacqueline Ray+FollowLong COVID Brain Fog: It’s Not Just in Your HeadEver felt like your brain just won’t cooperate after COVID? Turns out, science finally backs you up! A new study found that the infamous ‘brain fog’ isn’t just in your imagination—it’s linked to real changes in the brain, like inflammation and lower levels of a key protein that helps your brain adapt. Basically, your brain’s wiring gets thrown off. For millions dealing with this, it’s a huge relief to have proof that what they’re feeling is 100% real. #LongCOVID #BrainFog #HealthNews #ScienceUpdate #COVID19 #Health101Share
aguilarallison+FollowWhy Is Everyone Suddenly Talking About POTS?Ever heard of POTS? It’s this wild condition where your heart races just from standing up—and it’s hitting women and long COVID survivors hard. Imagine feeling dizzy, wiped out, and foggy-brained just from showering or waiting in line. Doctors are finally paying attention because cases are spiking post-COVID, and it’s mostly women in their 20s and 30s. No cure yet, but more awareness means better support and research. If you’ve been feeling off after COVID, this might be why! #POTS #LongCOVID #HealthAwareness #WomenHealth #InvisibleIllness #Health00Share
Cheryl Bennett+FollowLong COVID Hits Harder If You’re OverweightDid you know carrying extra weight could make Long COVID symptoms way worse? A massive study (almost 140k people!) found that being overweight or obese is linked to more headaches, vertigo, sleep issues, and even depression after COVID. Wild how much our health can impact recovery! Full details in the study if you want to dig deeper. #LongCovid #HealthNews #Obesity #Wellness #BrainHealth #Health00Share
Courtney Williams+FollowLong COVID Messing With Your Sleep?Turns out, sleep issues like insomnia and sleep apnea are super common after COVID—and researchers at University of Arizona are on it. They’re running a study to figure out why so many people can’t shake off brain fog, fatigue, and restless nights after getting sick. They’re even offering at-home sleep tests and trying out melatonin and light therapy. If you’ve had COVID and your sleep’s been wrecked ever since, you might be able to join their trial! #LongCOVID #SleepProblems #HealthNews #Insomnia #Research #Health51Share
