My wife is permanently disabled from this disease and the word needs to get out so more research can be funded! Today is awareness day. If you have a few moments, learn more about the disease here:
https://solvecfs.org/me-cfs-long-covid/about-the-disease/https://www.omf.ngo/For those unaware, ME/CFS and long COVID have many similarities. It has even been suggested that COVID may be yet another viral trigger for ME/CFS--as most cases of ME have been correlated with a viral infection.
What is ME/CFS?
What are ME/CFS & Long Covid?
Myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), formerly known as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), is a chronic, complex, neuroimmune disease that profoundly limits the health and productivity of patients and is often triggered by an infection. Long Covid describes a collection of lingering symptoms following COVID-19.
They are thought to be related as they both can follow infection and exhibit many of the same prevalent symptoms: crippling fatigue, post-exertional malaise and cognitive dysfunction. There is no cure for either, nor are there any FDA-approved drugs or treatment so there is a dire need for more research into these disorders.
