Replying to @JennXTex @TMZ
I feel much the same way! The degradation of our society is accelerating, the dehumanization is complete, & with all the viral assaults on our brains + AI + propaganda, I don’t think people are thinking very clearly. I wouldn’t wish becoming disabled in this society on ANYONE, but people don’t even know it’s happening. There’s no assistance for people anyway. A 2021 report warned the system would collapse if even a few million Americans were disabled by Covid & filed for disability benefits. No funding was allocated, our govt literally ignored it all. That was 5 years ago! I can’t stop thinking about how different things could have been, but we were very literally hijacked by the worst people on the planet. Younger gens think all of this is normal, & with each passing day the extreme deviance will become more normal. My hope is people will come together, reject the Divide & Conquer/Two Sides stuff, & demand change. We’re all Americans, we’re all being harmed, we’re all being priced out of survival, & we’ve all been robbed of our futures & normalized taxation without representation (pretty sure I saw that in your bio!) I talk about it a lot too. That’s exactly what is happening…

From the beginning, I kept wondering how many long COVID patients have been misdiagnosed with MS because the symptoms are so similar. Now that she has lost the protection of an MS diagnosis, her gaslighting journey has already begun with "Congratulations! You don't have MS."
Christina Applegate reveals she was misdiagnosed with multiple sclerosis. “This may come as great news, but to me, I’m back at square one. It’s hard to say that [my doctor] came into my room and she said, ‘Congratulations, you don’t have MS'... You don’t get misdiagnosed and then all of the sudden I’m better. I haven’t gotten better … If anything, I’ve gotten worse in some ways. So I’m back at square one, that I don’t know what’s going on with me... there’s a pretty damn high number of misdiagnoses with MS. It’s clear now that they’re finding something different. Something else is going on... It’s this weird feeling because I became this poster child for MS. I had a reason. I had a f*cking reason as to why my day sucked every day. And now I don’t have a reason and it’s very unnerving and it’s really confusing for me.” variety.com/2026/tv/news/chr…

I got sick w #COVID Feb 2020 & stayed sick, 2021 my neurologist said certain that I had MS on top of #LongCovid-- Turns out it wasn't MS.. It's still LC.. We need biomarkers so people can get properly diagnosed & real treatments can be proved to help people w/ specific diseases.
