Thanks for sharing. I have ME/CFS too.

It’s not even that rare over 2 million people in the US have it, just quite a marginalised illness, mostly because it majoritarily affects women and was therefore blamed on “hysteria” till the 80s. A lot of the medical system still has prejudicicial views towards it.

A decent chunk of the more severe Long COVID cases fit ME diagnosis criteria, which makes sense, because most ME cases have historically been caused by viral infections.

Wishing you the best.

you too. Really appreciate you looking into it. Most people just don’t care, so it really makes me feel seen, thank you.
