ME/CFS Diagnoses Could Rise After Coronavirus, Researchers Suggest
In 2011, then-28-year-old Jennifer Brea started to show strange symptoms after getting over an infection. It took years for her to be diagnosed with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).
"I was disbelieved eight years ago when I first began showing neurological symptoms of ME after a viral infection," Brea, the founder of ME/CFS activism group#MEAction, tells Bustle. "The years I went undiagnosed made my health much, much worse," she says.
Researchers and activists are concerned that just as Brea developed symptoms following an infection, some people who've survived COVID-19 might go on to develop ME/CFS.
