A study published in the Australian Journal of Primary Health finds that Long Covid patients experience long-term symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and breathlessness, with impacts on daily life comparable to Parkinson's disease or stroke survivors, highlighting the need for targeted support and rehabilitation services.
A large UK genetic study called DecodeME identified eight genetic signals associated with chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), providing biological evidence for the disease's origins and potentially guiding future treatments, though further research is needed to fully understand these findings.
New research suggests that viruses like COVID-19 can induce endothelial cells to become 'zombie' senescent cells, which contribute to long-lasting symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, and blood flow issues in long-COVID and ME/CFS by promoting blood clots and immune dysfunction. The study aims to develop diagnostic tools and targeted therapies to eliminate these senescent cells and improve patient outcomes.
Researchers have developed an AI-based method to analyze gut bacteria, immune responses, and metabolism, achieving 90% accuracy in diagnosing chronic fatigue syndrome and potentially aiding in identifying long Covid, offering hope for more precise diagnostics and treatments.
ME/CFS is a complex neurological disorder characterized by severe fatigue, post-exertional malaise, and a range of other symptoms, affecting multiple body systems. It is often misunderstood as a psychological condition, but scientific evidence confirms its biological basis. Diagnosis is challenging due to varying criteria, and current treatments like graded exercise therapy are controversial. Emerging guidelines aim to improve diagnosis and management, emphasizing pacing and rest to manage symptoms effectively.
Ellie Sutton, a mother from the Blue Mountains, Australia, has been diagnosed with a vaccine injury after experiencing severe chronic fatigue and nerve pain following her Covid-19 vaccinations. Initially dismissed by doctors, her condition was identified as monophasic transverse myelitis, suspected to be related to the AstraZeneca and Pfizer vaccines she received. Sutton, who was once active and healthy, now struggles with debilitating symptoms and has had to quit her job. She calls for greater recognition and support for those affected by vaccine injuries.
Alyssa Davis, a 26-year-old model and digital marketer, was diagnosed with idiopathic hypersomnia, a rare chronic sleep disorder characterized by excessive sleepiness with no clear cause. After years of being dismissed by doctors, she finally received a diagnosis and is now in the process of undergoing a new treatment. Davis is sharing her story to raise awareness about the condition and encourage others to seek proper medical attention.
Alyssa Davis, a 26-year-old model and digital marketer, was diagnosed with idiopathic hypersomnia, a rare chronic sleep disorder, after years of being dismissed by doctors who called her "lazy." The condition causes excessive sleepiness, dizziness, and concentration struggles. After struggling to manage the condition, she is now undergoing treatment with the first FDA-approved medication for idiopathic hypersomnia and is sharing her story to raise awareness and encourage others to seek proper medical attention.
Researchers at Stanford University have presented evidence suggesting a possible link between COVID-19 and increased alcohol sensitivity, with patients reporting worsened symptoms of fatigue, headaches, and hangovers after drinking. The causes of this sensitivity may be related to the way the immune system processes inflammation after a virus, imbalances in gut microbiomes, or damage to the body's energy-producing mitochondria in the liver. While no definitive link has been established, the similarities in symptoms between long COVID and chronic fatigue suggest a potential connection.
A new study from the CDC reveals that people who have had COVID-19 face a 68% higher risk of developing intense tiredness after recovery and are 4.3 times more likely to develop chronic fatigue compared to those who did not have the virus. The study followed 4,589 adults in Washington and found that women and individuals with underlying conditions were most affected. Experts believe that the immune response to the virus and ongoing inflammatory response may contribute to the development of chronic fatigue in long COVID.
A new study from the CDC reveals that individuals who have had COVID-19 are four times more likely to develop chronic fatigue compared to those who have not been infected. The study, based on electronic health records from over 4,500 patients, found that about nine percent of COVID patients developed fatigue after infection, with women being 39 percent more likely to have a fatigue diagnosis than men. The research emphasizes the need for public health measures to prevent COVID-19 infections.
A CDC study found that COVID-19 patients are four times more likely to develop chronic fatigue compared to those who have not been infected. The research, based on electronic medical records from the University of Washington, followed over 4,500 adults after COVID-19 infection and compared the results with more than 9,000 adults who did not have the virus. Women and older adults were more likely to develop fatigue and chronic fatigue, and those who developed fatigue had worse clinical outcomes, including a higher risk of hospitalization and death. The study highlights the need for increased awareness and early care for post-COVID conditions.
A CDC study found that COVID-19 patients are 4.3 times more likely to develop chronic fatigue, with 9% experiencing fatigue and 1.8% developing chronic fatigue. Women, older individuals, and those with underlying medical conditions are more susceptible, and patients with post-COVID fatigue have higher rates of hospitalization and death. The study emphasizes the need for public health measures, early clinical care, and effective treatments for post-acute COVID-19 fatigue.
A CDC study found that COVID-19 patients are 4.3 times more likely to develop chronic fatigue compared to non-COVID-19 patients, with fatigue developing in 9% of COVID patients. Women, older individuals, and those with underlying medical conditions were more susceptible, and patients with post-COVID fatigue had worse outcomes, including higher rates of hospitalization and death. The study emphasizes the need for public health measures to prevent infections, provide clinical care, and find effective treatments for post-acute COVID-19 fatigue.
A new study published by the CDC in Emerging Infectious Diseases shows that COVID-19 patients have a significantly higher risk of developing chronic fatigue, with the risk being more than four times greater than those who haven't had the illness. The study, based on electronic health records of over 4,500 patients in Washington state, found that fatigue, weakness, and malaise were more common among COVID-19 patients, particularly among women, older individuals, and those with other medical conditions. The report highlights the ongoing burden of long COVID, with up to 15% of U.S. adults having experienced it and up to 6% currently experiencing it. The study emphasizes the importance of taking precautions to avoid COVID-19 infection, as each infection increases the risk of developing long COVID.
