New pre-print from Taiwan:
How post-infection status could lead to the increasing risks of #chronicfatiguesyndrome & the potential mechanisms: A 17-year population-based Cohort study
"The findings of this study demonstrate the association between CFS and infection with common pathogens, including bacteria, virus and fungi"

May 5 press release:
"NIH study identifies features of #LongCOVID neurological symptoms: Findings offer insight into biological mechanisms, pointing to possible treatments"
This in-depth study was run by Avi Nath who also is leading the in-depth NIH ME/CFS study using a similar format

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 #longCOVID–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 #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis
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.”

New from Poland:
Study examining the prevalence of 8* out of the 9 symptoms of #CFS (Fukuda criteria) following #Covid19.
CFS symptoms tended to be higher in women (similar to CFS itself which is more prevalent in women)

Today reminded me that I'm still dealing with #PostViralSyndrome 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

This shit isn't in our heads.
A big thank you to everyone who did anything, big or small, for the #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis / #ChronicFatigueSyndrome cause in 2022 (including simply sharing messages on social media).
Together we can make a difference.

""Isolation in #longCOVID 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 #CircadianRhythm.
I feel relieved!
#PostViralSyndrome (more or less like #LongCovid or #MEcfs)

I saw someone ask “if #LongCOVID is real,
how come there’s no
long flu or
long cold or
long pneumonia or
long measles?”
There is. We just don’t call it that.

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 #ME and #PostViralSyndrome & could #IVIG improve synaptic function in #LongCovid patients since it improves c/o brain fog in this target group? #MedMastodon
