"Ähnlich wie Long Covid ist ME/CFS eine Erkrankung, die u. a. durch große Müdigkeit gekennzeichnet ist."

“Other viruses, such as Epstein-Barr virus (), are also thought to trigger ME/CFS, although the mechanisms are equally complex.

Like other human herpes viruses, EBV can hide out in the body, evading the immune system for years until stress or some other illness reactivates the virus.”

“What's more, by the time a person develops ME/CFS and receives a formal diagnosis (if they do), they or their treating doctor might not make the connection between their illness and a previous viral infection.”

“(Contd) And for years I also found it hard to accept and understand her illness. I wanted her to try exercise programmes (then recommended as a treatment) and wondered what trauma had caused her condition. For too long I believed the medical orthodoxy, and that strained our family bond.“

Ein Viertel der Betroffenen ist schwer oder schwerst betroffen, ein Großteil unversorgt, sozial isoliert zu Hause oder bettlägerig, abgeschnitten von der Außenwelt und jeder Form eines „normalen“ Lebens.

@SteineundBasalt
Es wäre einfacher, wenn wir nicht das Scheitern in der vergeblichen Suche nach Unterstützung vor Augen hätten. Ich hatte vor einigen Jahren eine Krebstherapie. Jeder Arzt, jede soziale Institution hat die Erkrankung akzeptiert. Der Unterschied ist schon krass, denn bei  müssen wir für die Akzeptanz nicht nur bei uns, sondern auch im Umfeld kämpfen.
Der Wunsch z B nach einer SchönheitsOP wird mehr respektiert, als dass man Versorgung zugesteht.
