What are ME\/CFS & Long Covid?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), formerly known as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), is a chronic, complex, neuroimmune disease that profoundly limits the health and productivity of patients and is often triggered by an infection. Long Covid describes a collection of lingering symptoms following COVID-19.<\/p>

They are thought to be related as they both can follow infection and exhibit many of the same prevalent symptoms: crippling fatigue, post-exertional malaise and cognitive dysfunction. There is no cure for either, nor are there any FDA-approved drugs or treatment so there is a dire need for more research into these disorders.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
