A community for people with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), sometimes called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). ME
Since Lemmy is small, this community also serves as a hub for common comorbidities of ME/CFS. Long COVID (Post COVID), POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), OI (orthostatic intolerance), MCAS (mast cell activation syndrome), and more!
For those who want an even more general community, check out !chronicillness@lemmy.world
Also please DM me I need to add some mods!
Rules: Instance Rules, No Ableism + No quackery or denialism. Empathy first, is a must to participate. No unsolicited advice.

MODERATORS
Long Covid is just any long term effects from a Covid infection. ME is the most prevalent one. I think it makes up about 50 % of Long Covid cases.
Personally I suspect that ME can generally develop from viral infections. Epstein Barr is known to lead to ME and now Covid 19. I bet there are tons more, including common colds and flu.
