Long COVID is a nightmare. I'm glad she's able to fight it off enough to do the things she loves again.
Dianna got better sometime last year as well, just in time to fly home to Hawaii for her father's funeral (yeah ...), but she got a lot worse again later. I really hope things will keep going well for Dianna now.<p>Props for her husband who's been incredible of taking care of her.
Such amazing news. She’s been bedridden due to long Covid. Got better a few times but after a while attacks came back. Both she and her husband showed great strength. So happy to see a new milestone.
thanks so much for the context. I'm glad if she's reclaiming from her losses <3<p>i want to be more appreciative every day for my health post-covid... not everyone was so lucky, and I can only imagine the gut-punch it is to know everyone went through a thing, but you got singled out for some perpetual daily punishment :'(
Wonderful to hear. Her long Covid was heartbreaking (saw the videos). I hope she gets stronger and stronger! Welcome back!
Welcome back. One of my staple YouTube Subscriptions.<p>I’m today years old learning that the light that we actually see on earth today came out 100s of thousands of years ago.
It's not the same photon though. The fusion happens in the core, then takes millennia for the energy to escape. During that time photons are emitted and absorbed by the atoms, until the surface emits one that finally travels to the earth in 8 minutes. Anyway that's taking you from the ELI5 to the ELI9 version. I'm sure someone on here can correct it further.

Oh, probably skipped physics too. I haven't seen the video (yet), but I would have bet that light on earth came out 8 minutes ago from the sun.
Light from the sun that is reaching us now escaped the surface of the sun 8 minutes ago, yes.<p>But photons are generated in the core through nuclear reactions, where they take their sweet amount of thousands of years bouncing around until they get out.
They probably meant, as explained in the video, "light <i>from our sun</i>"
...did you skip human socialization?
So happy to see her back! It was a grueling journey and we were all crossing our thumbs, waiting and hoping…
BOOM! Let's go
Happy to see her back to science!
(Typo in the title.)
Is this long Covid or depression or Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)? Because in her earlier videos she talks about becoming bed-bound again due to her emotional state after finding news her friend who had a similar condition died.
As someone who suffers from a complex autoimmune disorder which has caused dysautonomia and suspected mitochondrial dysfunction, stress flares and exacerbates symptoms. This has a physiological basis in the complex way the HPA axis/cortisol affects us at the cellular level. My primary diagnosis is sarcoidosis with small fiber neuropathy, but they don’t fully understand all the mechanisms of auto-immune fatigue and dysregulation.
It was essentially long covid. me/cfs or chronic fatigue syndrome induced by covid infection
Dunno, personally I don't think its that much of my business. Sure I'm curious, but that doesn't mean I have a right, or that its a nice thing™ to publicly speculate
I'm quite sure being that terribly sick could cause depression yeah, but that's not the reason
