    [Parts one and two are more personal tales of the author's experiences, part three, linked below, delves into the history of ME and CFS and relates history to what is happening today.]

    "It has been almost eight years since I caught a virus and never recovered, and I completely empathise with this growing group of COVID-19 “Long Haulers”.

    The only surprising aspect of this post-viral “second act” of COVID-19, is the reaction by various media outlets and some “medical experts” describing this phenomenon as puzzling, baffling or mysterious, as though young, healthy people not recovering from a virus is something new, or unique to SARS-CoV-2."

    An excellent article that should be compulsory reading for all professionals likely to work with people with ME and/or Long Covid.

    Is there even a single neurologist working in the ME research groups around the world?

    I think a cardiologist is a better specialty for ME than a neurologist.
