One of the dangers facing the long-COVID research field was an over-emphasis on immune functioning and an under-emphasis on metabolism and energy production. While exercise studies showed up pretty early in chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), it took the field a while...
The brain and the blood vessels. So intimately intertwined but so rarely studied together. In retrospect, that’s kind of strange as blood vessels may have more to do with brain functioning than anything else. By weight, the brain is almost a non-entity –...
Earlier, Klaus Wirth and Carmen Scheibenbogen found a way to explain the brain issues in chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) without resorting to neuroinflammation. Their multipart series of ME/CFS hypotheses brought the most thorough potential explanation of...
We continue to take a deep dive into the “Long COVID and Post Acute Sequalae of SARS CoV 2 (PASC): Pathogenesis and Treatment” first-ever international conference on long COVID. Long-COVID research was always going to be a bit messy. Take a look at...
“Your Blood is Black” “Your blood is black”, said the nurse. “And thick, very thick. We see this with all our Long Covid and ME patients, their blood is very dark and thick. It is not like this with our other patients who have apheresis.” I am now 45...
New data comes in – and new models of ME/CFS and long COVID pop up. That’s, of course, how it should work and that’s what happened in “Chronic inflammation, neuroglia dysfunction, and plasmalogen deficiency as a new pathobiological hypothesis...
