The Prevalence of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in the US: New CDC Survey Reveals Surprising Numbers

A new survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 3.3 million U.S. adults have chronic fatigue syndrome, a larger number than previously suggested. The condition, characterized by severe exhaustion, pain, and other symptoms, is not a rare illness and is likely boosted by patients with long-term COVID-19. The survey also revealed that chronic fatigue syndrome is more common in women and white people, contradicting the perception that it is a rich white woman's disease. Misdiagnosis and limited access to healthcare contribute to the underdiagnosis of the condition, which has no cure or quick diagnostic test.

COVID-19 Vaccines Show Long-Lasting Antibodies and Minimal Risk of Blood Clots, Studies Find

A study from Cedars-Sinai’s Smidt Heart Institute found that patients with long COVID-19 produced antibodies against the virus for an extended period after vaccination, with especially high levels of nucleocapsid antibodies. The study suggests that immune system dysfunction could be causing long COVID-19, and researchers are now seeking a definitive biomarker for diagnosing and understanding long COVID-19. Long COVID-19 is estimated to affect 65 million people worldwide and can have debilitating effects.

Metformin reduces risk of long COVID-19 in diabetes patients.

Metformin, a diabetes drug, has been found to be an effective treatment option for COVID-19, reducing hospitalizations, emergency room visits, deaths, and preventing long COVID-19 in 42% of patients compared to those receiving a placebo. The drug has been used safely for decades and is approved for use in adults, children, and pregnant and nursing mothers. It is also very inexpensive. The drug helps increase energy production in cells by improving insulin sensitivity, and some believe that may be an important way in which it specifically helps prevent long COVID-19.
