Really good info-sheet produced by the World Physiotherapy org about Post-Exertional Symptoms Exacerbation (PESE) in Long Covid. They note that many of the symptoms are similar to those experienced by people with ME/CFS (ime I'd say they're identical). PESE is usually called Post-Exertional Malaise in ME/CFS.

Here's the source, where it's available as PDF (Doesn't look like there's an accessible format I'm afraid):

Testosterone being a controlled substance should be completely unacceptable and I am so frustrated people don’t talk about it more. As it stands, my testosterone is being withheld from me for the next 3 weeks for seemingly no reason at all, the systems saying it’s “state regulations.” If I have to go off T for that long o genuinely don’t know what I’ll do, but I fear even more for the trans people who have had their hormone producing organs removed, for whom not getting testosterone is infinitely more dangerous

wip in peace
