Brain scans reveal neural connectivity deficits in long COVID and ME/CFS

This is pretty interesting. I know of a fair few autistic people who also struggle with chronic fatigue.

Considering that ME/CFS has been described historically as "yuppie flu", even by medical professionals, it is nice to see that there is some science behind the symptomatology rather than the symptoms being pinned on some vague, psychological defict or alleged hypochondria.

I'm not sure how seriously long COVID is taken by medical professionals? Maybe some people on here have experience with that?
 
I have a few doctors in my family. So, lomg COVID and chronic fatigue aren't actual diagnoses, but it's a well known fact that infections can have complications. Something as simple as the common flu can have a complication as serious as endocarditis and heart failure - it's not all that rare, especially in people who already had a heart condition. Chronic fatigue can be a lot of things, frequently vitamin deficiencies, autoimmune issues or even microstrokes. In the case of COVID, it is known to have caused microstdokes for many people and it's believed to be the cause of the post-COVID "brain fog".
