Something similar was found in Hungary too a few months ago, although using a shorter time frame. And they also mentioned the similarities with ME/CFS. I posted it here: Severe Fatigue and Memory Impairment Are Associated with Lower Serum Level of Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Antibodies in pw Post-COVID...

I saw it too, but at least some parts of the article have been corrected. Not the central sensitization part, but now there is an explanation added that says CBT and GET are outdated. (Although I had to admit there are still some issues even with that explanation.)

Abstract Background: Long COVID, an illness affecting a subset of individuals after COVID-19, is distressing and poorly understood. Exploring the experiences of people with long COVID could help inform current conceptualizations of the illness, guide supportive care strategies, and validate...

Well, he has passed today. (After more than a month on the ventilator.) As I said, unfortunately not many people come back from the ventilators here.

To be honest, I don't think that VeryWell Health article is particularly well-written. It says it is fact-checked but then there are sentences like this in it: In 2020, the most pervading symptom documented by long-haulers was fatigue. In 2021, a study by the World Health Organization (WHO)...

The BMJ: Long covid in children and adolescents Risk appears low, but many questions remain Symptoms involving almost every organ system have been reported after SARS-CoV-2 infection.123 Estimates of the prevalence of long covid (also called post-covid-19 condition, post-acute sequelae of...

Dr Charles Shepherd's comment from the MEA website: (Though I couldn't find where the authors noted the similarity with ME/CFS. Maybe it was in a different article I haven't come across.)

I don't know if anyone here noticed but this part is actually missing from the now published version.

Eventually they will say that symptomatic covid infection doesn't exist, it is just psychosomatic, caused by pandemic-related distress in people who are psychologically prone to it. That would be awesome, finally it would be obvious to the whole world how BPS ideology is more of a religion than...

(Don't learn geography from that map though, they mixed up the Czech Republic with Hungary. Otherwise, it is of course interesting.)

Yes, I've had this thought for a while now that even when an unshakeably good biomarker is found, they will just say: "But they do that with their mind!" :yuck:

Key Points Question What is the association of a COVID-19 diagnosis and mobility and physical function among community-living middle-aged and older Canadians during the initial pandemic lockdown in 2020? Findings This cohort study of 24 114 participants found that community-living...

I also believe that there is a cultural element for this very reason. I know that in Hungary most people never heard of EBV or mononucleosis unless they actually had it. I know I had no idea of their existence, had a hard time explaining even mono to quite a lot of people and also never met...

I honestly hope they won't ruin any kid's life with some surgery. Or even worse, series of surgeries. :(

I've read this article too and it also recommend treatments such as GET, yoga, hypnotherapy, improving sleep habits, mindfulness etc. I wasn't impressed at all either, so good job giving feedback, @boolybooly

I also actually have it, although for me it is air hunger, a feeling of not enough air coming into my lungs even though I breathe normally. Of course it can get worse with exertion but that is not the source for me and if I have it then I have it even if I just sit and do nothing (once I felt I...

Oh no. Raelan Agle, Pamela Rose etc are all these ME/CFS coaches who have even recommended the Lightning Process or NLP. I actually have a lot of issues with them and their YouTube videos in my own ME/CFS group because people keep sharing their material. They think all those recovered patients...

Additional info: this is not just an Australian thing but an update to the original guideline endorsed by the organization World Physiotherapy. Originally, PEM wasn't mentioned, so this is a new addition. The guideline has been translated to many different languages...
