    Prevalence of Post-COVID Symptoms Across Variants of Concern and Follow-up Periods: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis, 2026, Lugtu et al.

    I have come to the conclusion that it's literally all bullshit. All of it. As in: there is no such thing as a psychosomatic illness. After the destruction they've caused, all the obfuscation, all the fudged and fraudulent data, I really can't see any good reason to think there are any illnesses...

    Impaired VLCFA-peroxisome-mediated intestinal epithelial repair causes gastrointestinal sequelae of long COVID, 2026, Wang et al.

    If this is true I would be very happy as I have been absolutely plagued by GI symptoms since my suspected covid infection

    Spontaneous, persistent, T cell–dependent IFN-γ release in patients who progress to Long Covid, 2024, Krishna et al

    Has this study only just been published then? Bloody hell. Still want to know what they're up to now

    This is an insane stipulation by the ZonMw people. Why must governments stand in the way of progress like this?

    USA: The RECOVER Initiative - Long Covid research

    You would hope so. Maybe some of them requested biosamples!

    A thread on what people with ME/CFS need in the way of service

    I was assuming that there will be at least some private immunologists/rheumatologists who begin providing dara if it is successful in phase 2. I agree in part but I also think caution must be tempered with an acknowledgement of how urgent this situation is. I think it would be very difficult...

    USA: The RECOVER Initiative - Long Covid research

    And what has been done with these biosamples? Honestly, I could have made more of a difference to the field if you'd given me a tenth of the money recover has had and I am a random sick guy posting on a forum. They are the biggest f-king medical research institution on the planet. This has been...

    A thread on what people with ME/CFS need in the way of service

    I wouldn't be recommending people get it now but I for one will be trying to get it if phase 2 responses looks like phase 1. I know I will not be alone in that. I make no encouragement to others to do the same, that is just how things are. And we have a lot of people in very dire, life...

    A thread on what people with ME/CFS need in the way of service

    I have had a thought about the blanket no off label drugs stipulation. If we have a situation in the near future where, say, daratumumab is successful in phase 2 and the improvements are as striking as in the pilot, and people begin to get it off label privately - might we not encounter a...

    Peripheral neurons, CRH, and sickness behavior

    But surely in that model if the neurons burnt out people would stop having the sickness behavior symptoms. Even if they had other horrible symptoms from having no CRH neurons? Thanks for the explaination, it's appreciated.

    Neurons undergo IFNγ-driven persistent epigenetic shifts and synaptopathy in encephalitis, 2026, Shammas et al

    So neurons in the brain and nervous system respond to immune signals from cells in tissue - like maybe bone marrow - and those signals affect the signalling the neurons do in the brain - theoretically turning on sickness behavior etc?
