“ They propose that, following an initial viral infection or stressor event, the subsequent systemic pathology moves to the brain via neurovascular pathways or through a dysfunctional blood-brain barrier. This results in chronic neuroinflammation, leading to a sustained illness with chronic relapse recovery cycles.
The model proposes healing does not occur because a signal continuously cycles from the brain to the body, causing the patient to relapse.
The creation of this model is not only important for the "huge research effort ahead", but also to provide recognition for ME/CFS and Long COVID sufferers.
"These diseases are very closely related, and it is clear the biological basis of Long COVID is unequivocally connected to the original COVID infection—so there should no longer be any debate and doubt about the fact that post viral fatigue syndromes like ME/CFS are biologically based and involve much disturbed physiology," Emeritus Professor Tate says.”
