Can IV Saline Help Kids and Adults with ME/CFS?

Living with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) can be exhausting, not only because of the illness itself but also because of the limited treatment options available.

glad @TheLancetInfDis gave #LongCovid kids the voice they deserve, and with a powerful title as I love.
that’s a big change compared with the past

The take-home message from this study is clear: long COVID is here to stay, even in children, and can be exacerbated by reinfections and sustained by high viral circulation. Governments, health-care systems, and

this message tells a lot about #LongCovid
1- pts recognized soon can recove, also entirely
2- reinfections can bring you doing again

this means a general predisposition against over reaction to viral infection, but also to try to avoid reinfections and maybe to treat them
