Wie nu terugdenkt aan het begin van de Covid-19 pandemie, voelt misschien dat die tijd voorbij is gevlogen en dat het leven weer normaal is.

Voor chronisch zieken geldt dat niet.

En met elke Covid-19 infectie blijft het risico op #LongCovid bestaan!

Review of RNA data from over 1,100 unvaccinated COVID-19 patients from 20 hospitals found an increased abundance of reactivated dormant herpes, anelloviruses, and other viruses. Anelloviruses remained elevated in some patients after the acute COVID-19 infection and "may serve as a potential signature for persistent physical disability in patients with long COVID."

A study following almost 3,000 adults between 2021 and 2023 found that night-shift workers had an 88% higher chance of developing long COVID than day-shift workers. Chronic insomnia and obesity were associated with a higher risk.

I took some Excedrin (us)/panmigrol (uk) yesterday just as it felt like pem was coming on from a swim 22h earlier, as a tension headache, and it seems like it stopped the pem. I've tried it before and it sometimes helps, someimes doesn't. This time I took it straightway so maybe that helped?

#SarsCoV2 Het aantal aanmeldingen bij C-Support van mensen die lijden aan #LongCovid is de laatste maanden weer opgelopen: van oktober 2025 t/m januari 2026 lag het rond de 120 aanmeldingen per maand, terwijl in februari, maart, april die aantallen op 155, 200, 180 en 135 per maand lagen. Veel LongCOVID-patiënten proberen alsnog steun te krijgen van C-Support sinds het besluit van het kabinet om C-Support op te heffen na 2026.

News Release 6-Aug-2026
Night shift work linked to a higher risk of long COVID

People working night shifts were nearly twice as likely to develop long COVID, while chronic insomnia further increased the risk, according to a study based on the COVICAT cohort

News Release 5-Aug-2026
"Severe COVID-19 reactivates dormant viruses, study finds"

"Better understanding of how these activated viruses contribute to COVID-related outcomes could help physicians better predict potential complications & improve treatment for patients with severe COVID infection"

https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1138588

Looks like an interesting and impressive study

"The team found that these viruses do not reawaken all at once after a person contracts the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which causes #COVID19 Instead, different viral families reactivate on their own timelines. Epstein–Barr virus and anelloviruses tend to surge early during a bout of COVID-19, peaking shortly after hospital admission. By contrast, cytomegaloviruses and herpes simplex viruses emerge around three weeks later, mainly in the respiratory system."

Opinion piece urging Congress to fund the NIH ME/CFS Research Roadmap

https://www.bangordailynews.com/2026/08/04/opinion/opinion-contributor/congress-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-funding-joam40zk0w/

"People with ME/CFS are being failed by a federal research investment that has, for decades, amounted to a fraction of what the disease demands. That is a policy choice — and policy choices can change."

The author has " long COVID that progressed into a diagnosis of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, or ME/CFS."

@mecfs @longcovid

#MEcfs #LongCovid #NIH #Research

Same as it ever was...

Research on ME/CFS patients has long looked at reactivated viruses....various herpesviruses, cytomegalovirus...viruses that almost all of us are carrying around in small amounts seize the opportunity of a dysfunctional immune system to replicate and cause problems.

'Virus reactivation in acute and long COVID-19'

"we reveal significant reactivation of Herpesviridae and Anelloviridae during acute COVID-19, with distinct temporal dynamics for different viruses, and demonstrate that reactivation correlates with disease severity, host immune effects and clinical outcomes."

"Our findings challenge the prevailing view that chronic viral reactivation is primarily a consequence of immunosuppression, demonstrating that reactivations occur frequently in immunocompetent individuals during severe illness and in association with increased systemic inflammation."

"we demonstrate persistence of viral reactivation in convalescence, and report an association of Anelloviridae with long COVID."

@longcovid

A Covid infection can reactivate dormant viruses, possibly leading to Long Covid.

'Persistence of spike protein at the skull-meninges-brain axis may contribute to the neurological sequelae of #COVID19

• Spike protein is sufficient to induce brain pathological and behavioral changes in mice

• Spike protein enhances brain vulnerability and exacerbates neurological damage in mice

• mRNA vaccines reduce, but do not eliminate, the spike burden'

Looking at census booklet that was delivered today, there's a whole section about long term health conditions, including whether the person needs help dressing showering, toileting.

I don't remember it having a section like this before, but maybe I'm biased.

My experience currently is having severe Long Covid plus undergoing chemotherapy. It's a bit of a drag tbh.

Each chemotherapy cycle puts me into a state of exhaustion (for 8 days or so) that is stronger than anything I've been through before. My other Long COVID symptoms are much stronger, too. Especially the POTS. The strong heartbeat and the dizziness are very uncomfortable at times.

Two more months, then the chemo should be finished.

Of note: “exertional dyspnea” with a prevalence of approx. 80% in ME/CFS: Shortness of breath during exercise (exertional dyspnea) produces a sensation of not being able to "get enough air" and a feeling of being "out of breath

I thought I would repost this to highlight again some of the many varied symptoms that can be found in #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis / #ChronicFatigueSyndrome

Particularly relevant when similarities with the #LongCovid presentation in some people are being missed
