Abstract
Following a SARS-CoV-2 infection, many individuals suffer from post-COVID-19 syndrome. It makes them unable to proceed with common...
I have read that ME might be caused by many viruses but don't see much about the human papillomavirus (HPV). Have any studies been done on HPV and ME? I am curious because 1-2 yrs before I became ill with ME I developed a very severe case of plantar warts on my feet from an exposure at a...
Iβm a bit confused. Does having a negative IgM on a blood test for a virus usually rule out an active viral infection?
For instance on my EBV blood test I have positive IgG, negative IgM and positive Lytic antigens (T-Cells).
Iβve spoken to four different doctors about this, three of them...

Hi everyone once again. I'm currently waiting on word to see a neuroimmunologist in the hopes of finding answers after battling worsening, disabling brain and head symptoms for 5 years now which I suspect at this point to have neuroimmune causes.

In previous weeks they've each described quite similar...

Hi everyone again. After looking through some old threads, I see that someone previously reported brain symptoms which are exactly like mine and couldn't have put it any better into words. This was after I spent years thinking that I was the only one in the planet with this mysterious brain...
Hello everyone,
I'm new to the forum :) (though I've been reading quite a lot).
I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on what might be going on with me. I've been seeing a functional nutritionist for over a year now. For the first 6 months I was making slow but gradual progress, little by...
My illness first signs was a strange pain after exercise, deep in my right upper nasopharynx area.
This became a cold/flu which settled in the chest for awhile and somewhere along the way ME/CFS began.
My theory is that this is a brain problem in some form.
Either through faulty information...
