Key Points Question Does prevalence of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS)–like illness differ between individuals with an acute infection–like index illness who are COVID-19 positive or negative? Findings In this cohort study of 4378 participants, the weighted...

This reminded me of the French animated series Once Upon a Time... Life that aired when I was little. All I remember now is the red blood cell characters always carrying oxygen on their back and that sometimes an invader arrived that needed to be fought (a virus, etc). It was for little children...

An abstract from the PhD Scientific Days in Budapest just a few days ago: Viral infection associated pediatric gastrointestinal disturbances in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic Author(s) Dr. Réka Garai1, Dr. Vivien Herczeg1, Dr. Fanni Kovács1, Dr. Anna Máthé2, Dr. Ágota Nyírő3, Dr. Péter...

BBC: 'I'm scared my daughter will die in hospital' A man says he is terrified his daughter will die in hospital due to what he says are failures in care by NHS staff. Pierre Naoum, 62, from Hounslow in west London, says his daughter Carla, 23, who was diagnosed with myalgic...

Yes, another endocrine disorder is hypothyroidism where you test your thyroid hormones for diagnosis. Then you get medication and you have to keep doing the tests to see if it works or you need to increase or decrease the dose, especially as time passes (first every 3 months, if it's good then...

These are the papers on ME/CFS in the references section: Apostolou E, Rizwan M, Moustardas P, et al. Saliva antibody-fingerprint of reactivated latent viruses after mild/asymptomatic COVID-19 is unique in patients with myalgic-encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome. Front Immunol...

Samantha J. Russell, Karen Parker, Andrea Lehoczki, David Lieberman, Indu S. Partha, Serena J. Scott, Linda R. Phillips, Mindy J. Fain & Janko Ž. Nikolich Abstract Long COVID, also known as PASC (post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2), is a complex infection-associated chronic condition...

My hairdresser is a racist far-right anti-science anti-vaxxer and very chatty (well, guess how I know these). The only reason why I go to her salon is because the salon is in our building, so I literally just have to go to the ground floor. I'm not sure I'd like to start getting mental health...

So for example here is the latest such update of the Google search algorithm, happening just now actually: https://www.searchenginejournal.com/google-launches-june-2024-spam-update/520281/ They keep saying these updates are against spam, AI, low quality content etc but you can find plenty of...

Can the Google algorithm be also responsible, at least in part? They have messed with changing the algorithm in the past year or two a few times and it really badly affected some websites, including mine (even in the past few weeks there was a huge drop in traffic). I don't even look at where my...

Haven't read it yet but the title sounds impressive. ;) This is the same team @dave30th addressed once both on his blog and in a letter after this study where they "found" some unjustified causal relationship between physical activity and reduced number of symptoms after covid infection in young...

Abstract Purpose The COVID-19 pandemic has had an enormous negative impact on the psychosomatic status of the general population, and especially of more vulnerable populations, such as older people. The present study aimed to assess changes in psychosomatic status before and after the COVID-19...

Not Michael Rosner, but Dr Bolognese, who seems to be the go-to spinal surgeon for ME/CFS patients in the US right now. You can find a couple of similar articles on legal sites or smaller local news sites. ME/CFS is not mentioned in these stories and these particular cases may have nothing to do...

Koroshetz has been saying this since the beginning of the pandemic but this is such BS. They could have done prospective studies on EBV-triggered ME/CFS (or other strongly suspected infections). The Dubbo study did it, Leonard Jason did it, it is not rocket science and NIH has the money for such...

There's even more, menstrual changes, extreme thirst, shortness of breath, balance issues etc, symptoms you can read about even here on S4ME from people. These may not be covered well by the current literature though unfortunately.

I can't speak for others, but I'm one of those people who feel worse after waking up. However, if the day is going to be a "bad" one, I feel even worse after waking up that morning than after waking up on an "OK" day. The difference is pretty noticeable. It is basically the very first thing I...

This is my favourite part, from the art therapy abstract: "The art therapy protocol consists of 6 sessions with the following themes: (1) presenting ourselves and our experiences; (2) body image and imagination about the functioning immune system; (3) restoring safety; (4) following the rhythm...

Some conference abstracts from The 30th National Scientific Assembly of the Hungarian Psychological Society from 2023 (book of abstracts here). There was a whole section titled "Affective and cognitive neuropsychological functions in post-COVID syndrome, and specifically developed psychological...
