Researcher, life enthusiast despite living the #LongCovid life. #ME Tired of the theocracy.
🦙5 Ob ich von #mecfs in meinem Studium schonmal gehört habe oder diese Erkrankung kannte? Nein. Und bis heute bin ich fassungslos, wie das sein kann. Was für eine Versorgungslücke vorhanden ist. Für mich ein großer Skandal. Aber wer nicht laut sein kann, wird nicht gehört.

New study: "At 3-6 mo. after mild/asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection, virus-specific antibodies in saliva were substantially induced signifying a strong reactivation of latent viruses (EBV, HHV6 and HERV-K) ... #MECFS antibody responses were significantly stronger" #LongCovid 1/
FIGURE A: Comparison within each cohort (healthy donors vs ME/CFS) based on IgG, IgM, and IgA antibody response. Shows COVID-19 triggered reactivation of EBV, HHV6 and HERV-K both in ME/CFS and healthy donors, with more pronounced response in ME/CFS.
Only antibody responses with statistically significant differences are displayed on charts.

Wie man sich selbst die mühselige jahrelange Arbeit, das Krankheitsbild aus der Psychoecke zu holen, selbst wieder zunichte macht…: warum macht ausgerechnet die bei so einer überflüssigen Gegenüberstellung überhaupt noch mit? - DAS ist keine Diskussion wert!#MECFS

Je mehr man darüber lernt, wie Viren den Wirtsmetabolismus verändern können, desto weniger kann man eigentlich häufig postvirale Syndrome wie #MECFS von vornherein für unplausibel halten. Gerade auch, wenn Viruspersistenz als Theorie Traktion gewinnt.

Surprisingly, a century of blatant and ethically bankrupt denial and discrimination do not yield good outcomes. Who knew?! But #MEcfs is not getting needed attention yet. It could, but too many physicians are dedicated to make sure it never happens. It's hard to end traditions.

. This is one of the reasons to never get COVID: It can turn into Long-COVID and one of the most devastating illnesses that exists: #MECFS (myalgic encephalomyelitis). Keep masking. The November 2022 variants are mostly vaccine resistant, so you'll need the bivalent booster.

I’m now also listed as a former member of my work team on their public website. Expected, but I would be lying if I said it doesn’t hurt a bit. #MECFS #MillionsMissing

My team leader at work (aka my boss’ boss) removed me from our team’s mailing lists this morning. Hard to feel… erased. #MECFS #MillionsMissing

I never imagined that at the age of 35 I would be fully disabled by the exhaustion and pain of #MEcfs. I was equally stunned by the discovery that others could, and often would, simply refuse to acknowledge the reality of my suffering. #MEAwarenessHour
