At Medical College of Virginia in the 1981.

Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction. Another name for ME/CFS.

From the article...

"Andersson hopes to bolster his research by conducting similar mouse studies using antibodies from those with long COVID or myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). These are two chronic conditions that have many overlapping symptoms with fibromyalgia and have recently been connected to autoimmune issues as well."


In some people a virus can trigger a long-term, often decades long response.

For decades I had a very low-grade fever, crushing fatigue, night sweats, & brain fog. Only in the last 15yrs have I felt better.

Thanks for posting this.
