Just curious how many in the MECFS community have had the misfortune of getting Covid infection. What has been your reaction? How did it affect your MECFS symptoms and your overall functional status? Did you use Paxlovid and did it help you?

The poll results show that about one third of ME/CFS patients got permanently worse after having COVID.
I trust what Bruce Patterson has said about Long Haul, it subsides in about six months.
Permanently worse is an exaggeration.

Started on my (second or) third round of covid this weekend.
I haven't heard of alot of stomach related problems with COVID but it was this guy's third round. I wonder if he now has dysautonomia or something going after digestion....
Totally the sme, right down to my hub, DB, having had all jabs and boosters. He brought it home as, I guess, an early Christmas present. I would have preferred chocolate and a personal assistant willing to do light cleaning.Yep, had it very recently, about 6 weeks ago now. I'm unvaccinated. My partner (triple vaxxed and healthy) also got it at the same time.
Wholeheartedly agree. I remember reading a science-y article prob 20 years ago or slightly more about the function of a temp, which is to raise the body temperature to the level where it begins to produce and release interferon in order to fight whatever is attacking the system. I'm sure that received wisdon has changed since, but I still hew tightly to sweating it out rather than lowering the tep with OTC meds that might make you feel more comfortable, but hobble your body's natural resposes.Didn't take anything to lower my temp, I believe a fever should be left to do its job (unless it gets way too high of course)
Oh crap crap crap. Always something to look forward to. Crap.The poll results show that about one third of ME/CFS patients got permanently worse after having COVID.
Me too. I was one of the "lucky" early cases, MAR 2020, and it was moderately miserable (according to the extreme examples of people going into the hospital, then on to ventilators, then off to the morgue) but absolutely incapacitating, and took me months to crawl back to base.I've had it twice,
I totally agree. Both my COVID infections were donated by my husband, who works in a med sized law firm, and there's just no way to avoid infection under those circumstances.I think it’s pretty difficult to avoid infection given drop of public masking and increased transmissibility of new variants. Even home bound patients are at risk from their family and care givers despite best precautions.
Oh, Huf, I didn't know. Sending cyber chocolate and a hugI’ve had covid, at least once (confirmed) and most likely twice.
Yeah, same here. DB brought it home twice, without even knowing that he was Typhoid Mary .... almost everyone seems to be asymptomatic initially, which is also when they're most contagious ....We are very careful, but my husband works, and theres only so much one can do,
I agree. It actually doesnt feel anywhere near as bad, but the first round was pretty miserable.I don’t know about this last covid infection yet, but for now it doesn’t feel any worse than the prior)
