The Atlantic: Unlocking the Mysteries of Long COVID by Meghan O'Rourke
Quotes where ME is mentioned:
- The patients’ symptoms were too varied to be lumped under an established label; in some ways the condition resembled dysautonomia, and POTS in particular—but it was not textbook. (Some...
Yes it was a good episode with an all too familiar story. Alice Urbino was very eloquent with great reflections and analysis. She was just a teenager when she did LP and has been in therapy for help with untangling the internalised gaslighting it led to. Wonderful of her to tell her story and...
