Hi Lori,
Thank you for the link; interesting and rather scary. NoI have not had Covid, but I have CFS and fibromyalgia. I wouldn't be surprised but there could be a similar thing going on for CFS from a prior viral infection like Epstein Barre, which I had as a teen.

Hi Annie, EBV is another of these viruses which can have long term consequences. Covid has awakened some of the latent viral symptoms in a number of people. I’m sorry you’re having CFS and fibromyalgia. There are a number of articles with scientists trying to link CFS to EBV. Here’s one that is an interesting read:

I know that you’ve been in the forum for a while and have probably followed the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome groups and Fibromylagia group…if not I thought I’d pop these links in for you.
