- Today I had my 5th Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) for my serious #longCovid issues. Main thing is that it helps with my cognitive issues. If you want to learn about SGBs, my doctor, Dr Luke Liu, did a video. The SGB part stats at minute 22. vimeo.com/1084382051/f...
- Hi #longCovid folks, have r posted in a while. But today I had quite a procedure. A dual Stellate Ganglion Block plus a dual Thoracic block. The SGB is my 4th and is for My cognitive issues. It increases blood flow to brain, which is why the right side of my head was much warmer after right side.
- Oh, and in my latest #LongCovid news, a package with $300 of immune system supplements was swiped off my front steps. It was only there for 5 minutes. Delivery person didn’t bother to ring my doorbell. Sheesh. Somehow I don’t think the swipers are going to appreciate their ill gotten loot.
- Is this an early April 1st joke?? Sounds like it. The legendary Toronado bar being bought by a bored apes DOGEbag and turned into a crypto bar?? sfstandard.com/2025/03/27/c...

- I luv me some Space Karen shadenfreude. Just 4 days after the second-in-a-row SpaceX Starship blew up, X crashed and Tesla stock dropped by over 15% in one day. Genius - NOT!

- This is why we need more politicians who are trans. They can single handedly kill hateful anti-LGBTQ+ bills simply by talking about their families. Powerful. And the following speaker is really worth hearing as well. m.youtube.com/watch?si=bZe...
- Some personal #LongCovid good news/bad news: I am now officially disabled with respect to *any* gainful employment. The good part is that I am incredible fortunate in that my company’s disability policy will continue paying me. Bad news is that my body is a wreck.
- Apparently some orange clown gave a speech tonight about some alternate reality in his head. You of course don’t need to watch it. But you do need to watch Bernie Sanders’ great reply. www.youtube.com/live/QlrQKv1...

- Must read interview with Ed Yong on life, #longCovid, and birdwatching. I have had great fortune to be part of Ed’s #longCovid bird watching outings where can commiserate with other #longCovid sufferers, at extremely slow pace, while enjoying the beauty of our world. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/m...
