There is a doctor here, owner of a private clinic for HBOT, who has been popping up in the media recently, promoting HBOT as a treatment for long covid. (Interestingly, she is a psychiatrist originally.) To prove her point, she says there have been double-blinded placebo controlled studies that...
They also seem to have a "similarity score", meaning similarity of people participating. A lot of this seems to be based on Reddit posts, basically what people reported there about the different treatments they tried.
One of the very few articles from Hungary where a doctor talks about long covid (so the article is not a translation of some foreign article about long covid, which is much more common, but original stuff - the latter is really rare). The doctor in the article is Gábor Markó, a neurologist and...
My short-term memory seems to be quite badly affected on top of the constant brain fog and concentration problems. My long-term memory is fine. I mentioned several examples in other threads on this forum about how I quite often randomly forget things I have just done or started doing and I keep...

The Times: Thousands of ME patients ‘failed by shockingly poor NHS care’
National treatment guidelines published two years ago are still not widely implemented, says charity
If anyone is interested, my blood test result from this week was negative for the anti-VCA IgM and indeed significantly lower than last year, meaning I got a very normal ("had EBV at some point in the past") result. I guess this value is something that probably fluctuates over time, at least for...
This is just an abstract from a conference (31st Meeting of the European Society of Paediatric Clinical Research) but I'm putting it here in case anyone is interested. From Semmelweis University.

Written by someone who has no freaking idea of what this disease is but has read a couple of these weird chronic fatigue papers...
I don't know enough about the situation in Germany either but I agree with your assumption very much that respected doctors standing up for the disease probably play a role in this.
The situation seems to be similar in Austria. Their ME/CFS patient org was only founded in 2017 and look how far...
