I was the opposite. Before my ME/CFS, I was very rarely ill. Of course influenza affected me when I got it twice as it is normally much worse than having a cold. But whenever I got a cold, it was just a tiny blip on my radar, I kept living my life like nothing was happening, it affected me so...

CS has posted the Clare Wilson article on the MEA FB page, without any further comment. I saw it early in the morning, so just skimmed through the comments from the community but a lot of them agreed with the article and were supportive of Miranda Hart and her book. (Eg I agree, it is Miranda's...

George Monbiot in the Guardian: Maeve Boothby O’Neill died because of a discredited view of ME. How was this allowed to happen? How could this happen in the 21st century? This question could apply to many issues, but this one sends you reeling. A brilliant and lively young woman with a common...

Medscape: Does Mast Cell Activation Syndrome Underlie Multiple Ills? https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/does-mast-cell-activation-syndrome-underlie-multiple-ills-2024a1000isk?form=fpf Depending on one's perspective, "mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS)" is either a relatively rare...

I agree with some other comments above that this largely depends on what kind of infection you have. I'm not sure it is a good idea to try to quantify this in percentages. Most often people will get the common cold probably (at least up to the past few years), which doesn't induce fever so much...

They used Fukuda, CCC and the IOM criteria.

Abstract The pathogenesis of Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) remains unclear, though increasing evidence suggests inflammatory processes play key roles. In this study, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was used to...

The article has been updated. There is still bad info on exercise therapy etc. They have changed the name to ME/CFS though.

Mine started with EBV, I had no health issues before. I was ill with mono for 3 weeks. I still tried to live a normal life during the first week (even tried to work out) but it just got worse and worse, so eventually I had to stay in until I "recovered" because I was too ill. After three weeks...

I have posted a Hungarian article about ME/CFS in the Visegrád thread (the article is translated to English in my post). There is an ethnic Hungarian doctor from Targu Mures/Marosvásárhely (Romania) talking about the disease in it, so I'm sharing the link to that thread here too, maybe someone...
