For #doctors (and people in general) who claim not to understand #PostCovid or #LongCovid:

Have you not heard of #GlandularFever/ #Mononucleosis (caused by #EpsteinBarr #EBV)? Do you remember high school when whole classes were wiped out for months? Some students came back after a month. Some a few months. Some off and on because they pushed too hard. Some never came back to school. Some had it reactivate years later.

It was accepted that this happened. Doctors knew this happened and tried to manage it the best they could because we couldn’t contain the virus. Parents accepted it.

#PostViral syndromes aren’t new and it’s amazing how short your memory is. This was the 1990s not the 1890s I’m referring to. It was endemic at that point. It’s happening again except this virus is far worse and we had a chance to control it. You can also catch it over and over and cause more and more damage.

@samhainnight @Tnicholsmd a lot of people I know with #MECFS (including myself) seem to think it started with #GlandularFever ( #EpsteinBarr ) - Given the general symptons of #EBV it does make sense that when the virus went away, somehow the body just didn't turn all the responses off and in my case just left me with a whole load of EBV symptoms for the next 22 years.
