If those numbers are reliable this is a borderline epidemic level crisis. Nearly 1/5 of the UK population reporting significant cognitive symptoms interfering with daily life but are typically brushed off by medicine. The worldwide numbers would place this at above 1B. That's staggering...

I took Valcyte for 2 1/2 years. I had suspected infectious onset based on initial fever and symptoms, as well as chronically very high EBV, CMV, HHV-6 antibody titers. Valcyte didn’t have any effect on my ME, though I was working full-time and push-crashing all the time.

Gut Neuroinflammation Connection Revealed
“There is something very critical about how the gut and brain are connected, and we’re starting to unravel the molecular threads behind that clinical observation. It’s a...
The aim of this thread is to collect a list of brain imaging studies of ME patients, with links to threads on each study.
We have in our library a thread by @Woolie that explains the different types of neuroimaging and what to look out for in assessing the quality of a study:
Brain Studies of...
