My trigger was EBV and my GP automatically ordered the test for mono because that is what he suspected. (I guess based on the gigantic lymph glands I had: my neck was literally wider than my head, not kidding. I had no fever at all but I 100% had the "glandular" part.) It was a test for both...

Same here. I went to do my weekly shopping and I was almost the only one with a mask though, there were only 1-2 others. My sister and her husband have changed their views on covid now and say it is not going away and they cannot live like this and want to enjoy life, so are taking these things...

I haven't watched the videos but I remember coming across her website in the past and that I found some odd things, for example: Or:

Prolonged EBV? You mean acute infection for two years? Is there any source for that?

Possibilities for effective rehabilitation of post-COVID and long-term COVID patients with mild to moderate acute COVID-19, 2022, Bajzik et al ----- This is in Hungarian and not available online, it was published in a muscoskeletal journal. So I have absolutely no idea about the text but I'm...

Thanks for posting those @Andy, good timing. I'm currently in the middle of writing an article on HADS to show how easily it can misinterpret ME/CFS. The basic idea is to use an imaginary ME/CFS patient's answers to the statements and explain his reasoning behind these, with examples from his...

I had to educate myself quite early on on Patterson (and also the people pushing ivermectin) because they had a large social media presence and were quite popular among covid long haulers since almost the beginning, at least in the groups I joined here in Hungary. To the average long hauler they...

I was very definitely the case where EBV "hit me like a ton of bricks" and the whole thing was very compressed. I went from having way above average fitness level where I did 1000-calorie workouts regularly to often barely being able to get out of bed and rarely leaving my apartment in those...

Quote: During the 2003 epidemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), a large number of survivors reported persistent symptoms that included muscle weakness and pain, fatigue, and dyspnea. In some patients, these symptoms remained for several years and resembled those of chronic fatigue...

Abstract Background There is a paucity of knowledge on the long-term outcome in patients diagnosed with COVID-19. We describe a cohort of patients with a constellation of symptoms occurring four weeks after diagnosis causing different degrees of reduced functional capacity. Although different...

Abstract Background: About 10% of individuals who contract infectious mononucleosis (IM) have symptoms 6 months later that meet criteria for myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). Our study for the first time examined whether it is possible to predict who will develop...

It does include it but it is not one of the mandatory criteria. It is listed just a little bit below the criteria as one of the potential additional symptoms:

Abstract Purpose Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is an illness characterized by a variety of symptoms including post-exertional malaise, unrefreshing sleep, and cognitive impairment. A variety of case definitions (e.g., the Canadian Consensus Criteria (CCC), the...

Once I saw a website where the doc with his dubious therapy was said to have been nominated for the Nobel Prize for his work and it even gave a specific year when this happened. Fun fact: the names of the Nobel Prize nominees are sealed for 50 years, so no one knows who was really nominated...

I'm putting this here because in the grand scheme of things it is not that interesting but locally it is a little bit. The main text is Hungarian but the abstract can be read in English: Monitoring the development of post-COVID–19 syndrome, 2022, Tamasi et al. Abstract: Link...

I think someone asked about the conflict of interest a couple of weeks ago in another thread and what it really meant in this case, because it wasn't so clear. It seems clearer from this one: Competing Interests E.P. is a named inventor on a patent application covering the use of fluorescence...

Thanks for your worry! It's actually a bit better now because recently I've "appointed" a second moderator. She is the admin of the biggest covid long hauler group here, herself being a long hauler for two years now. She offered her help after she saw I was struggling with both writing articles...

I have a relatively new member in my group who is convinced that ME/CFS = the nervous system creating toxins that go into the liver. And based on this she gives very confident advice to long haulers in the group, as if this was some obvious fact. I'm the evil idiot in the story questioning and...

Full title: How mycobacterium tuberculosis infection could lead to the increasing risks of chronic fatigue syndrome and the potential immunological effects: a population-based retrospective cohort study Abstract Background Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) has been shown to be associated with...

János Szlávik is an infectologist who is one of the people who talk the most about covid in the Hungarian media. Pretty much everyone knows who he is and every news site reports what he says. This is what he said today (Google translate): Regarding post-covid symptoms, János Szlávik said that...
