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

    It really has been a long wait (25 years for me) for any attention to be paid to ME/CFS. Too bad that it has taken a deadly pandemic to force the NiH and the NIAID to look our way.

    COFFI - The international collaborative on fatigue following infection

    I was surprised to see her name on this paper. Last I heard, she had left Seattle to work at Washington State University where she is (was?) a professor of public health and with an emphasis on Native American health. I was hoping that she had left the ME/CFS research field permanently. Many...
