"The results revealed significant differences in the neurophysiological parameters of P300 & beta band rhythms in subjects affected by cognitive fog, and these alterations persist even 8 months after recovery from #Covid19"
"I have sat through countless GP appointments where I have had to explain the basics of Post Exertional Malaise [PEM], the cardinal symptom of ME, before going on to discuss treatment."
I've had similar doctor visits.
It's frightening that so many doctors know so little about ME/CFS.
🔴 These findings demonstrate that transfer of IgG from Long COVID patients to mice replicates disease symptoms, underscoring IgG's causative role in Long COVID pathogenesis.
A thread for sixteen #MECFS, #LongCovid and related research papers from w/c 27th May 2024.
Links are to our forum discussion threads, where abstracts, links to paper, analysis and discussion can be found. Inclusion does not equal recommendation.

This is from posting pretty much solely on #MECFS , #LongCovid and related conditions and to a lesser extent chronic illness in general, which shows it is possible to build up followings on them, in case people either gave up on them or never tried.
"In our unmatched comparison, we observed that, following #COVID19, POTS and ME/CFS yielded higher rates than after negative testing. In absolute terms, we observed #POTS & #MECFS diagnoses to have a similar disease burden as DM [diabetes]"
"The lived experiences of people with #LC, in relation to their condition and their experiences of healthcare services have provided a primary source of evidence”
#FollowFriday I recommend @IrishMECFSAssociation if you are interested in studies and #research about #LongCovid#MECFS etc. They provide international informations.
"significant connection…between cognitive fog symptoms occurring after Long-Covid and neurophysiological alterations"
"beta rhythms…reduced in the cognitive fog group compared to the control group… suggests individuals with cognitive fog may have difficulty processing sensory information and coordinating motor activities efficiently, with possible impacts on various cognitive domains such as attention, memory, concentration, and decision-making skills."
The authors emphasise orthostatic changes in cerebral blood flow, electrocortical activity, heart rate variability, or oxygen extraction, among other physiological changes, can occur in the presence of a completely normal blood pressure or heart rate response on head-up tilt table testing
