Unexplained post-acute infection syndromes

Sadly I'm in the same boat, for years now. Fatigue is such an inadequate term. Can't even sit up for long without getting exhausted. Still trying treatments but to no avail so far. The impact of Long Covid seems to be drawing a lot of eyeballs to this though so I'm hopeful something will be found. It's taught me patience and empathy. I used to teach others how to program and when people couldn't get something I presumed they weren't trying hard enough. I get it now. Now I read the requirements or exercise or puzzle or whatever and there's just nothing where once there was a bubbling and filtering of ideas or whatever we call thinking. There was a recent survey paper in Nature covering this syndrome that can triggered by various infections https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-022-01810-6 Be well, and get your own Illness Benefit Insurance policy

No, I am implying that 14k articles were produced on the topic of Long COVID clearly differentiating it from "fibromyalgia". Which is a viewpoint only shared by a select few not even researching the condition. These syndromes are best described by their respective pathogen: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-022-01810-6 EDIT: Sorry, you were talking to someone else. Disregard this comment.

COVID is definitely not the only case where acute form might shift into a chronic one. For a recent overview see, e.g., Unexplained post-acute infection syndromes[0]. > As of now, the true extent of PAISs remains uncertain, as there is a significant risk that a lot of cases, especially under sporadic circumstances, remain unrecognized. > The research that is available concentrates on PAISs in the context of either well-monitored acute infectious diseases, or as a follow-up of outbreaks and epidemics.
