All signs point to post-viral fatigue.”ADSometimes a precursor to ME/CFS post-viral fatigue syndrome can occur after virtually any viral infection. ADBut patients who have experienced post-viral fatigue syndrome advise the newly ill to rest, rest and rest some more, as returning to normal activities can trigger relapses. A survey organized by a group of covid-19 patients called the Body Politic shows that many coronavirus symptoms overlap with those of post-viral fatigue syndrome. The group cautioned that while the survey suggests many respondents had long illnesses, the results may not apply to the broader population of covid-19 patients. Already, clinics funded by the OMF are collecting blood from covid-19 patients and asking them to wear activity tracking devices.
