The positive response to my 3-minute video short about ME/CFS for Awareness Day/Month was so great that I realized a longer video with more information about ME/CFS and long-COVID was needed. I searched online for the most commonly asked questions about ME, myalgic encephalomyelitis (also known as CFS or chronic fatigue syndrome) and recorded the video in a Q&A format, covering the basics. Note that I also explain in the video what long-COVID is and how it can be the same as or different than ME/CFS.
In the video, I answer these questions:
- What is ME/CFS?
- What are the symptoms of ME/CFS?
- What does the name ME/CFS mean and where does it come from?
- What causes ME/CFS?
- How prevalent is ME/CFS and who gets it?
- How is ME/CFS diagnosed?
- How is ME/CFS treated?
- Can ME/CFS be cured?
You can watch the video on YouTube or I will include it below:
This video is perfect for sharing with friends and family to help them better understand how ME/CFS and/or long-COVID affect you.
Note that while I briefly discussed effective treatments for ME/CFS and long-COVID in the video, you can find a summary of ALL the treatments that have helped my sons and I here.
Do you have other questions about ME/CFS and long-COVID not addressed in the video?
Have you had trouble explaining your illness to friends and family?
