I think it's due to the large variation in symptoms. I do have the extreme fatigue, it is one of my most debilitating symptoms along with cognitive dysfunction. I remember @Bill had it too. It is very abnormal, more comparable to a feeling of being sedated with something than to anything else...

Psychiatrist Would Abandon Research on Long COVID and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Pretty good article by Llewellyn King, mostly about the recent awful opinion piece written by Jeremy Devine in the Wall Street Journal. He briefly mentions Wessely and Michael Sharpe and the latter's connections with...

One of the reasons I left the ME/CFS Facebook groups was that I was tired of arguing with some of the members there about the psychological aspect. Some people were sure their illness was caused by emotional trauma accumulating over the years (or over generations, or happening in their...

So I haven't read the posts on this forum/in this thread about the Monbiot article yet, only the article itself (and I'm going to read them later). But I just wanted to share that it's such an unbelievable story that in the past couple of hours I had been working on a summary of it in Hungarian...

Guardian opinion piece by George Monbiot: Apparently just by talking about it, I’m super-spreading long Covid "Rejoice! A mystery has been solved. We now have an explanation for long Covid, a condition afflicting many thousands of people. A super-spreader has been identified. Important as this...

Copied from this thread: Swiss Re: Expert Forum on secondary COVID-19 impacts Feb 2021 Posts have also been moved from threads about the PACE trial and about Monbiot's previous article. ____________ Guardian opinion piece by George Monbiot: Apparently just by talking about it, I’m...

:jawdrop: What a very scientific way to deal with this! First I was on the fence about his story with long covid, and tried to see him as someone misguided by his own experience and projecting it on others, like so many people tend to do, but this attitude with the blocking is hard to explain...

Abstract COVID‐19 leads to severe respiratory problems, but also to long‐COVID syndrome associated primarily with cognitive dysfunction and fatigue. Long‐COVID syndrome symptoms, especially brain fog, are similar to those experienced by patients undertaking or following chemotherapy for cancer...

I like it how type A personality is a predisposing factor, with too high expectations of their own recovery time. But also another predisposing factor is the type who often visits the doctor, thinks a lot about their symptoms and has apparently too low expectations of their recovery. I always...

Here we go again with the "cost-effectiveness". Edit: sometimes they sound like a startup company.

N=1 experience. Part of the reason why I find online dating hard is that it is full of men who are into alternative medicine, psychobabble (or conspiracy theories or esotericism or horoscopes or...). These are absolute dealbreakers for me because I'm just so much the opposite. Yet when I share...

The name Gaber sounded familiar and indeed, here he is: https://www.s4me.info/threads/review-assessment-and-management-of-post%E2%80%90covid-fatigue-2021-gaber.19130/ In this piece he was supportive of BPS and CBT. In the one posted by Andy he mentions the possibility of developing maladaptive...

I remember when I had this major knee surgery at the age of around 20, that a few days afterwards I told one of the nurses that my knee hurt in certain positions (I used crutches to walk, so no real pressure was applied). And she told me it must be psychological. And that was just a few days...

What baffles me is that covid in itself is indeed something new and what we know about its sequelae is still relatively limited, yet these people (it's not particularly Garner I'm talking about here) already seem to know post-covid syndrome is psychosomatic, before a decent amount of research...

I took NAC too for about two months for ME, my doses were based on what Nancy Klimas recommended in one of her videos. I felt nothing, so I stopped.

In Hungary the priority groups are not public, so there is no way to know when you are supposed to get the vaccine. A doctor leaked the diseases in risk group 1 though, so we know that people with diabetes, heart, pulmonary diseases, cancer etc are included, basically people most threatened by...

Mental health related long covid clinic set up in Hungary If you haven't had enough of reading BS on long covid yet: now there is a long covid clinic in Hungary specifically for people dealing with mental health issues afterwards (it is part of the National Institute of Psychiatry and...

Abstract The COVID‐19 pandemic has focused health systems on supporting patients affected by this virus. Meanwhile in the community, many other contained patients could only use self‐care strategies, especially in countries that have set up a long and strict containment such as France. The...

Higher health-care seeking behaviour, higher degree of illness worry, etc as psychological characteristics of adult patients- well, that is my sister, who goes to the doctor with every little thing and is super-worried whenever she gets any kind of minor infection and is also always ill with...

This is something I really would like to think. But I'm also kind of worried because in the last few weeks I've seen some long haulers saying things like "it also depends on if you want to get better - because some people just don't", "the mindset matters a lot", "you have to get back to being...
