    News from the Visegrád Countries - Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary

    I've found another decent article. This particular page is a very popular health website for the general public and from what I've seen, even their previous (few) articles on ME/CFS are pretty good, they don't push the BPS approach at all, on the contrary. They very obviously base many of their...

    USA: PBS NewsHour segment April 2021 features disability advocate Rivka Solomon discussing ME/cfs and long COVID

    She also wrote an article in The Washington Post about how ME/CFS affected her ability to participate in social/religious activities and how it was kind of a blessing to her when all these things had to be carried out online due to the pandemic. For years, my chronic illness kept me isolated...

    Covid-19 vaccination experiences

    Sure! I had already shared it before but it was a long time ago. :) ME/CFS and the covid vaccines: https://www.facebook.com/groups/226441995768222 I haven't really checked it lately, after being vaccinated myself but I think if you click on "Announcements" you can also find some links to some...

    News from the Visegrád Countries - Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary

    First decent article in Hungary that discusses the connection between long covid and ME/CFS (which was not written by me) So far, there have been only 1-2 short mentions of ME/CFS in the country in this respect, but either in the wrong context (psychosocial) or from someone not really...

    News about Long Covid including its relationship to ME/CFS 2020 to 2021

    Hm, this sounds like before covid-19, we had no idea what other viruses could trigger ME/CFS. Also, about long covid Koroshetz said: "We do know, unfortunately, that it's not a minor problem," he added. "We also know now that the hope that this might be something like infectious mononucleosis...

    George Monbiot on ME/CFS, PACE, BPS and Long Covid

    So this probably isn't new information to many of you but it was to me because I didn't really know who George Monbiot was before the Michael Sharpe incident. Very recently I also saw him in the documentary Seaspiracy as one of the people sharing their opinion on the subject of industrial...

    News from the Visegrád Countries - Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary

    There's no specific medication for the chronic fatigue of post-covid syndrome I've found the first doctor who actually talked about chronic fatigue syndrome in connection with long covid in Hungary. So far every doctor only saw it as either organ damage or a psychiatric problem and long covid...

    The use of the labels ME, CFS, ME/CFS

    I think the two situations are probably different. My fatigue is not secondary or a result of insomnia, since I don't have insomnia but hypersomnia/somnolence. I get enough sleep, way more than enough actually (which is then never enough actually...). This extreme fatigue is part of my PEM...

    The use of the labels ME, CFS, ME/CFS

    I think it's due to the large variation in symptoms. I do have the extreme fatigue, it is one of my most debilitating symptoms along with cognitive dysfunction. I remember @Bill had it too. It is very abnormal, more comparable to a feeling of being sedated with something than to anything else...
