Some have asked so..Here's a list of the meds/supplements/other treatments that have helped us go from severe #MECFS to moderate (housebound) as at 2024. Long list. No magic cure. ymwv.

We’ve kept everything that helps a bit. If we stop any, we get worse again. 5 yrs to get to this point.

On the #NIH advocacy call right now.
Koroshetz on, discussing the new Vernon et al. paper distinguishing between #pwME post-COVID versus those we cannot PROVE had COVID.
~ 0.9% in those we can't prove had COVID
vs
~4.5% in those who were in the post-COVID group
met dx criteria for #MECFS. 🧪🧵

“Imagine you go to an emergency department, you wait 13 or 14 hours, your condition actually deteriorates, and then you’re told, ‘Hey, good news, everything is normal” ....

Excellent article about mistreatment of #Longcovid similar to what has happened to #MECFS patients for decades.

Gentle reminder that the patients that are suffering the most are locked out of clinical trials. You need to be moderate to mild to be 'healthy' enough to enroll.

Ein junger #MECFS -Patient hat um #Sterbehilfe gebeten.

Die Eltern flehen mich an zu helfen - damit ihr Sohn überlebt.

Der Sohn fleht mich an eine Stellungnahme zu schreiben und ihn in seinem Vorhaben sein unsägliches Leiden zu beenden zu unterstützen.

I have not heard of this for long covid but I could be mistaken. Long acting monoclonals are being trialed for LC
But here is an example where repeated vaccination treated post infection illness from flu. It is a fascinating account if you have not heard of it.
