- Modern medicine routinely fails to make sense of ME/CFS and long covid.
- This incoherence, along with wider stigma, leaves sufferers frustrated and confused.
- A systems view of illness encourages us to consider how states of imbalance arise across bodily systems.
- Viewing symptoms as signs of being dysregulated, not broken, can open the way for the possibility of recovery.

A New Hope
Clearly, a systems framework for understanding ME/CFS and long covid gives rise to many further pressing questions. Zooming out of the physiological mechanisms at play in ME/CFS and long covid, we can also do well to consider what wider biological, psychological, and environmental factors give rise to this state of imbalance in the entire organism.
The prospect of making sense of your supposedly “medically unexplained” symptoms as a potentially reversible state of dysregulation and dyshomeostasis across multiple bodily systems lends itself to possibility, hope, and agency. This understanding offers the possibility of creating a new, healthier set of conditions which may foster greater regulation and homeostasis — and therefore recovery. This is how I make sense of my own recovery from ME/CFS and long covid. I look forward to going deeper into this fascinating area with you in future posts.

Jake Hollis calls himself " The Fatigue Psychologist" and you can already find a few things about him if you look him up on S4ME (letters to the Guardian).Clearly, a systems framework for understanding ME/CFS and long covid gives rise to many further pressing questions.
