I have just donated to David Tuller.

I only get to read some of what he writes these days but it’s reassuring to know he's keeping a close eye on the output from those from the biopsychosocial viewpoint who have caused so many problems over the years

2. Use validated tools and instruments to appropriately screen all patients who report cognitive symptoms after COVID-19.

3. Current practices to treat ME/#CFS can help guide treatment recommendations for –related cognitive symptoms.

4. Using an individualized patient-centered approach when choosing the appropriate treatment will help meet the patient's needs.

One year post Covid & my brain functioning still hasn't returned to normal. ☹️

Other possible changes are not so clear-cut given my

Best to avoid Covid infections/re-infections if can. I had had 3 vaccinations (one 10 weeks before) so that didn't "save" me

“Post-exertional malaise in the first few months after a viral infection is usually a red flag for ME/CFS.”

Today reminded me that I'm still dealing with after a wicked flu that hit my choir director with heart issues that required a transplant.

They've been in the public sphere for a while now, and we are seeing the post viral effects of COVID19

""Isolation in comes in various forms and it's not primarily just that physical isolation," says Yochai Re'em, MD..."A different yet equally challenging type of isolation is the emotional isolation, where you need more emotional support, connection with other people who can appreciate what it is you are going through without putting their own needs and desires onto you — and that can be hard to find"

Often even within samples of long-term patients who see themselves as having ME/CFS, a percentage don't satisfy ME/CFS criteria for one reason or another at a particular point in time. We are seeing that with @DecodeMEstudy but also in previous Leonard Jason studies

Health has been a rollercoaster.

At one stage, I decided to experiment with a daily hour in daylight, at the balcony.

Turned out to be a successful experiment. Many symptoms were alleviated.

Some time later, I began to sit outdoors each night, like half an hour before sunset, until it became dark.

Turned out it makes me pleasantly sleepy. And I got an almost normal .

I feel relieved!

(more or less like or )

Microglial synapse elimination in SARS-CoV-2 with overlapping neurodegenerative disease & increased incident risk. Next big question. Is this the same clinical process that causes Neuro dysregulation in and & could improve synaptic function in patients since it improves c/o brain fog in this target group?
