This is guaranteed happening in ME/CFS as well.. 63%!
Myopathy as a cause of Long COVID fatigue: Evidence from quantitative and single fiber EMG and muscle histopathology Highlights
• Myopathic changes in qEMG and/or increased jitter in sfEMG were seen in 63% of 84 patients with Long COVID neuromuscular symptoms.
• Low quality of life score correlated with higher mean jitter values in sfEMG but not with qEMG measures.
•Electron microscopy showed damage of terminal nerves and motor endplate.
Conclusions: Myopathic changes are common in Long COVID. sfEMG abnormality is less common but may correlate with clinical scores. sfEMG changes may be due to motor endplate pathology.https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1388245723000196
