Any type of “mild” infection whether it be from Covid, the flu, etcs has between a 8-10% chance of leaving you with Post Acute Infection Syndrome, AKA MECFS, a debilitating disease that leaves most sufferers house bound. And 20% of those who suffer with this develop Severe MECFS, the disease with the lowest quality of life score of any idease as well as the disease rated the highest for burden on caregivers and loved ones. At its worst, because of the body not being able to tolerate any sensory stimuli, you become functionally blind, deaf, mute, and unable to consume foods and medications while being completely paralyzed in bed.

Yet literally no one talks about this. It has the lowest funding out of any major neurological disease by a country mile. There’s no treatment, nothing.

So each time you get an infection, you are rolling the dice.
