Lupus may be caused by the common Epstein-Barr virus, study finds

The Epstein-Barr virus, one of the most common in the world, could be the cause of lupus, an autoimmune disease with wide-ranging symptoms, according to a study.

Hm. Kinda small, but promising

A Stellate Ganglion Block seems to help 86% of a 41 patient study on Long Covid. (Or maybe the study is 41 patients and only some of them have Long Covid? I'm preserving spoons.)

Stellate Ganglion Block Relieves Long COVID-19 Symptoms in 86% of Patients: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Post-COVID-19 condition, also known as long COVID-19 syndrome and post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2, encompasses an array of symptoms that persist well beyond the initial phase of the viral infection. These symptoms can range in intensity, from mild ...

"Where Is the Medical Home for Postinfectious Illness?"

"Many can trace these symptoms to a specific infection… [but] infectious trigger may not have been confirmed or recognized at the time. They were healthy and active, then they weren’t. Some are severely disabled and can’t work, go to school, or even do simple tasks without feeling depleted and even sicker afterward."

Wie schreitet die #Forschung zu postviralen Erkrankungen voran? Wissenschaftsjournalist @martinruecker mit einem Überblick über den aktuellen Stand der Forschung zu #LongCovid, #PIAS, #MECFS und Co. #covid #gesundheit #postviral https://www.riffreporter.de/de/wissen/long-covid-mecfs-pais-postvirale-erkrankungen-forschung-versorgung
Von Long Covid zu „PAIS“ – wie die Forschung zu postviralen Erkrankungen vorankommt

Das Verständnis für postinfektiöse Erkrankungen wie ME/CFS wächst, weltweit laufen inzwischen viele Therapiestudien. Ein Durchbruch allerdings fehlt noch.

This is more a reminder to myself when I get down or maybe to someone who feels stuck right now. ME can make you feel like there is no future, and I've definitely felt that way at times, so I'm writing down things I can do now that I couldn't do a year ago.

1. Water my veggie garden fairly regularly

2. Sit upright for most of the day

3. Take my cat for a slow little wander around our neighbourhood on a good day.

4. Build a little bamboo trellis for my peas.

5. Make plans to see friends with about a 65% chance of not having to cancel.

These are huge gains for me. I still struggle with heavy brain fog and I need to rest a lot. PEM can sneak up on me quick when I get a little too overly enthusiastic about what I can accomplish, but I am definitely making some progress. I have a cane now. It helps a lot, particularly when my POTS is giving me balance issues. I let go of my fear of mobility aids this year too. It's worth doing. If something will make your life easier, embrace it.

Two Households, Both Alike in Indignity: An Interview with Anne Ursu

(I wrote this lying down. I sat at my old desk to write and it was a mistake so I had to lie down. Every time I rewrote this or sent Anne questions I was lying down. I dictated some of my questions…
