It’s as much a problem with doctors. My wife has suffered with ME/CFS for 25+ years now. We’ve only met two doctors who took it seriously. Most tell her to take paracetamol and “get more exercise”.
Long COVID is just highlighting what ME/CFS sufferers have dealt with for decades.

Made today’s phone calls to my senators and reps. Today’s topic was health care and concern about the cancelling of meetings regarding next year’s flu shot formulations. Essentially we won’t have a flu shot with FDA approval next year. Thanks RFK JR., 47, and Rump voters! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
