    And a recent one. There was no problem with my father being advised to take months to rest when he had a recurring post viral condition from the 1930's to 1960's. Every time it recurred he rested, sometimes for several months, until he completely recovered, then got on with his active life. The same happened with me after what was probably glandular fever in the 1970's. 6 months in bed, then back to an active life. Neither of us needed rehabilitation therapy or GET or whatever. We simply rested until we were fully recovered.

    That had changed completely by the time I got sick in 1989. Then it was take a week or 2 off if you must, but don't rest too much, then go back to work and when it recurs the same - stay active, get back to work, put up with feeling dreadful.

    Yes, there is a reason we used to do convalescence.

    And it had nothing to do with malingering or being psycho-pathologically sensitive to one's bodily sensations.

    There is a blue photo challenge on Twitter. If you search bluephotochallenge# a bunch of Japanese MECFS tweets come up. Actually most of the posts from these 2 accounts.

    Twitter translation added:
    I will deliver flowers today * I hope that myalgic encephalomyelitis will be widely known and that a cure will be found.

    Twitter translation: good morning! It was a fine day for cherry blossom viewing. Let's do our best again today!

    Long Covid discussed in the Japanese legislature:
    Although I'm not so sure about the quality of what's discussed. "Post infectious symptoms, or so-called conduct disorder". Not quite.

    Conduct Disorder is a brand new insulting name for Long Covid - or at least I haven't heard it before.

    Maybe it's a translation problem.

    As a random note, while this is disgustingly horrible. Some members said it would not happen in the west. It definitely does.
    This is the comment section of a post by Diana (Physics Girl) on long COVID. These are the top comments, not scrolling down or anything.

    I just accidentally found this video on youtube and watched a little of it. That "conduct disorder" was indeed a mistaken translation. He was referring to "korona kouishou(コロナ後遺症)" which is understood as Long Covid in japanese. The thing is that kouishou can be written with different kanji, 行為症, and that would have a meaning of conduct+illness.

    That video and many others are posted on a channel that calls itself as something like National Association for Long Covid Patients and their Families.
