> A "visionary" new study finds inflammation and evidence of the Covid virus years after initial infection. ... In some cases, the team followed patients up to 900 days, making it one of the longest studies of ... they report what looked like lingering virus in participants’ guts. Even those who’d had Covid but no continuing symptoms had different results than those who’d never been infected.

    This story - "A life derailed by long COVID" - is from 2023 but I just found it:
    https://virginiamercury.com/2023/09/06/a-life-derailed-by-long-covid/

    Classic story of trying to push through symptoms, getting worse, and finally meeting ME/CFS diagnostic criteria:

    "Pretty soon, I was feeling worse than I had during my acute infection. But I tried to carry on and returned to my job…"

    @mecfs @longcovid

    Over the next 2 months, I continued to wake up exhausted, lost 25 pounds, felt a constant malaise, suffered insomnia, and my heart rate would spike after eating certain foods or standing up. I was unable to resume my normal runs and bike rides because it felt like my muscles weren’t working properly. I traded my runs and my intense mountain bike rides for gentle walks. My doctors told me I’d feel better soon and that all my labs were normal. Naturally, I looked into my medical condition. My symptoms exactly match those of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), which is a chronic condition with a low recovery rate that has no U.S. Drug and Food Administration approved treatments and is the most underfunded disease per patient burden in the US.

    New video on PEM (post-exertional malaise) from the Bateman Horne Center, second video in "the Basics" series. About 3 1/2 minutes long.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkS6L3Klc00

    Roughly half of Long Covid patients meet the ME/CFS criteria which means they will also have PEM.
