I think it’s how you define PEM, it seems people get a worsening of symptoms and exercise intolerance with king Covid

I had very severe long covid and didn’t develop pem till later. Not sure about the average. Many in my support group didnt but some/many did. Most are getting better though “sadly.”

i just got covid again. Pvf and cfs are not the same for me. Even in synptoms. I think they are different processes.

Whats the actual definition of long for covid?

 

[bensmith]

Over 2 weeks. Sucks we still arent counted. Not a good sign i dont think.

> They found that patients with severe COVID-19 developed autoantibodies that attacked healthy cells instead of the virus, including interferon and B and T cells, thus hindering the immune response to the infection.

I thought people with mild cases of covid were just as likely to get long covid as people with severe cases.
