    World Neurology - The Official Newsletter Of The World Federation Of Neurology - has an article by Avindra Nath and B. Jeanne Billioux titled: Long-Haul COVID.

    Many of these symptoms overlap with those of patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). The cause of ME/CFS remains unknown despite decades of research of the syndrome. Many of these patients similarly report a viral infection as a trigger, but since they come to our attention months and years after symptom onset, it is impossible to know what may have triggered the symptoms.

    Long-Haul COVID thus represents as excellent opportunity to study the pathophysiology of ME/CFS that may have broader implications.


    Article begins at page 1 and continues at page 3:

    A large German newspaper dedicates page 3 to a personal story about a friend with ME. Potential association of Covid 19 sequelae with ME only marginally mentioned in the text, but prominently in the caption:

    First it was a scratchy throat. Soon Nora could barely stand up, could barely speak. There's no cure. But with Corona, maybe more cases soon.

    Yes, I think you're right, but I wonder if there might be more?

    Yeah, I wonder too. There are no quotes from Garner or Hornig in it.

    Thanks for posting this @Dolphin. I wasn’t aware so have queried with our committee to ask if others knew the community service was advertising.

    Dismayed to see one of the options was for a mental health nurse, along with OT or Physio.

    FYI applications closed last week, link in tweet didn’t work, but yours did.

    I was wondering if I can sneak back into the system by calling myself a long haul EBV
