An ME/CFS researcher engaged in 5 studies and an ME/CFS clinic engaged in several ME/CFS clinical trials suggests the small chronic fatigue syndrome field is growing.
Studies thus far indicate the long COVID and chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) may be exhausting the body in similar ways via viral persistence, autoimmunity, circulatory and blood issues and small fiber neuropathy.
Exercise studies at the 2021 IACFS/ME conference suggest that long COVID is similar to ME/CFS, that exercise significantly alters ME/CFS patients metabolism and immune functioning, and that two symptoms may be able to identify post-exertional malaise state that exercise induces.
