Please sign and share my petition to make Paxlovid available to all medically vulnerable people including those with long covid. Many of us have had pre existing conditions badly exacerbated by first infection but don't fit the cur, very narrow, criteria. Long covid sufferers also afraid of of what reinfection will do to them.

Does anyone have any tips I may have missed for sleep issues with long/persistent covid #LongCovid #persistentcovid #Sleepproblems
I haven't had restful sleep in now over a week and I'm absolutely dying. I need some tips or meds I can get over the counter without too much issue here in #AotearoaNZ #longcovidnz
A lot of meds available in other countries are banned here or I need a script for them so please take note of that before making suggestions. I'm feeling like absolute shit, this is probably the worst time I've had with sleep since I caught covid in may last year. Help

Please sign and share my petition to expand eligibilty for Paxlovid to all medically vulnerable people with ONE pre existing condtion, including long covid. Many of us have had pre existing condtions badly exacerbated by previous infection, but don't qualify. Long covid sufferers also don't want further damage from reinfection. #CovidNZ #Kraken #NZpol #covidisnotover #covidisairborn #bringbackmasks #longcovid #longcovidNZ #Covid19NZ https://www.change.org/p/expanding-paxlovid-eligibility?redirect=false

I will be submitting this petition in a couple of weeks. Please sign and share. Really need to get medically vulnerable people included in the eligibility for paxlovid. Many of us are dealing with exacerbated pre existing conditions due to 1st infection. People with long covid also need as much protection as possible if they get reinfected, so their conditions do not worsen. #Covid #CovidNZ #Covidisnotover #Covidisairborn #nzpol #longcovidnz

New variant's arrival means even more reason to expand eligibility to paxlovid for all medically vulnerable people including those with long covid. Many of us have had pre existing conditions exacerbated by 1st infection and yet don't qualify for the meds. Long covid sufferers also don't want to risk further damage.

Please sign and share my petition to expand eligibility to paxlovid for all medically vulnerable people including those with long covid. Many of us have had pre existing conditions badly worsen after first infection and need to be able to minimise damage if we were to get reinfected.

Please sign and share my petition to expand eligibilty for paxlovid for all medically vulnerable people. Currently, eligibility is very narrow and leaves out many of us who have already had devasting impacts on our health from first infection. Also people with long covid want to avoid further damage. #Covid #CovidNZ #Covidisnotover #Covidisairborn #nzpol #longcovidnz #paxlovid

Please sign and share my petition to widen eligiblity for Paxlovid to all medically vulnerable people, including those with long covid. One currently needs 3 (!!) serious pre existing conditions, which leaves many of us out even though we've had devastating impacts on our health already. #covid #CovidNZ #Covidisairborn #covidisnotover #longcovidnz https://www.change.org/p/expanding-paxlovid-eligibility?redirect=false

I cannot stress enough how much #truvada for #longcovid #longcovidnz #persistentcovid is helping. And in such a short period of time as well. Absolutely nuts. If you are a #longhaulcovid person I highly recommend giving it a go. Covid is airborne HIV.

For the rest of you. If you haven't had it yet I highly recommend you up your masking game. Don't catch this virus. Immunity debt isn't real.

Day 9 of truvada and I feel almost how I did pre-covid.
I'm still disabled by other post viral illnesses, and I don't have nearly as much energy as I'd like. But I'm feeling way better than before. To the point that I feel like I might be able to start sewing again sometime in the future???? I still don't have all the cognitive function I had pre-covid and I suspect that will be permanent, but I'm feeling way better than I did before. What I'm saying is that truvada for #longcovid #persistentcovid #longcovidnz works.
