It's #LongCovidAwarenessDay & co-incidentally my 4th anniversary of #LivingWithLongCovid.
Good news: every month I get that little bit better. I am the Queen of pacing!
Bad news: there is no cure, no treatment, just patience.
Sending love & spoons to all my fellow #ME/CFS #LC friends today.
A team of scientists has developed a highly accurate blood test for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The test reads tiny DNA patterns that reveal the biological signature of the illness. For millions who’ve faced doubt and misdiagnosis, it’s a breakthrough that finally validates their experience — and may help diagnose long Covid too.
Researchers believe they have developed the first dedicated blood test to diagnose chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), which has the potential to be a game-changer for millions around the globe who suffer from the debilitating condition.
