CO.VID-19 WARNING: Global alert for vacci.nated people
Living with Long COVID
For thousands, life after COVID-19 means daily struggles with dizziness, brain fog, and exhaustion.
A Yale University study found that nearly half of people with long-term symptoms meet the criteria for
myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).
What ME/CFS Is
Once dismissed as “just being tired,” ME/CFS is now recognized as a serious neurological and immune disorder that leaves patients drained after even minor effort.
Scientific Findings
Yale researchers found biological similarities between long COVID and ME/CFS,
including immune and mitochondrial dysfunction and problems in the autonomic nervous system —
explaining symptoms like palpitations and disorientation.
Imaging and blood tests show that “ME/CFS is not psychological.”
Hope and Advocacy
Advocacy groups like Solve ME/CFS and Body Politic push for research, workplace support, and recognition.
Scientists hope studying long COVID will lead to new tests and treatments — and long-awaited understanding for millions.
