Abstract Background Autoimmunity has been reported in patients with severe COVID-19. We investigated whether antinuclear/extractable-nuclear antibodies (ANAs) were present up to a year after infection, and if they were associated with the development of clinically relevant Post-Acute Sequalae...

There is someone in my group who tried it but she said for her it was a big disappointment, although she had high hopes.

The BMJ: Long covid: protesters outside the White House demand better care Protesters took to the pavement outside the White House on 19 September to demand a better deal for people affected by long covid, complaining that the Biden administration’s plans fell short on action and funding...

From what I can see, only one person with CFS was included in this study, so feel free to move this to a different subforum if that's better suited.

Full title: Differences in outcomes after total hip arthroplasty for osteoarthritis between patients with and without central sensitivity syndromes other than fibromyalgia Abstract We investigated the differences in outcomes after total hip arthroplasty (THA) for hip osteoarthritis (HOA)...

Key Points Question Is psychological distress before SARS-CoV-2 infection associated with risk of COVID-19–related symptoms lasting 4 weeks or longer, known as post–COVID-19 conditions? Findings This cohort study found that among participants who did not report SARS-CoV-2 infection at...

So I have no idea what is going on here, because those screenshots with the tweets were pretty confusing to me. But I did spot CF, fibromyalgia and ME here and there in that text. Edit: I just realized more info was added to the above post a bit later, so mine is a bit redundant now. :)

An abstract published in Ideggyógyászati Szemle Proceedings (Clinical Neuroscience Proceedings) by neurologists at the Hungarian National Institute of Mental Health, Neurology and Neurosurgery. This is the Google translated version: Post-Covid syndrome autonomic nervous system abnormalities...

This is also how it was explained in my English grammar books (they teach British English here). Now I actually looked this up in a book I have titled Cambridge Grammar of English (from 2011) because it has a chapter about the grammatical differences between the two (and it is 10 pages long)...

I had to reread the last sentence 2 or 3 times until my ME brain realized that it is not actually "Patients pretending..." :oops:

"Risk factors for the chronification of symptoms may include having several symptoms at time of testing and the presence of cognitive symptoms evidenced by a difficulty concentrating. A recent study described the longitudinal evolution of symptoms over 12 months and suggested neurologic symptoms...

Full title: The chronification of post-COVID condition associated with neurocognitive symptoms, functional impairment and increased healthcare utilization Abstract Post-COVID condition is prevalent in 10–35% of cases in outpatient settings, however a stratification of the duration and...

Purpose: Patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) present with a broad spectrum of symptoms, including headache. A simple, yet powerful tool – the pain drawing identifies essential aspects such as pain distribution. The aim with this study was to 1) evaluate the...

"Some studies have raised the possibility that COVID-19 may be causing chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) in post-acute COVID-19 and thus leading to the observed fatigue complications (Deumer et al., 2021; Murga et al., 2021), but in this case, there was no reduction in actual muscle torque nor a...

Abstract The acute phase of COVID-19 has been well studied, however with increasing post-acute COVID-19 syndrome, much is unknown about its long-term effects. A common symptom in both the acute and post-acute phases has been fatigue, assessed predominantly qualitatively. Here we present a...

Correction: I just realized I mixed up my cortisol result with my ACTH result. My cortisol level is great, it is actually right in the middle of perfect. So at least in my EBV triggered case, we can rule out any cortisol involvement. It is not even a little bit low.

If anyone is interested, my cortisol turned out to be pretty low, but still within normal range. The CDC and Hutan were right. :thumbsup:

Thanks for this @Andy and @Hutan . My cortisol level (and some other endocrine values) will be checked on Monday at Semmelweis University. It was my GP's idea but also the endocrinologist at the University offered me to do these tests, admittedly because that's the only thing he can do about...

Found an interview in English with Michael Stingl, Austrian neurologist who specializes in ME/CFS. Long-Covid treatment: instead of inaction – use existing medication! As a doctor, what do you need to better treat patients with ME/CFS and Long Covid? The big problem with ME/CFS is that we...

Abstract Background ME/CFS is a disorder characterized by recurrent fatigue and intolerance to exertion which manifests as profound post-exertional malaise. Prevalence studies internationally have reported highly variable results due to the 20 + diagnostic criteria. For Australia, the prevalence...
