post-viral fatigue syndrome

There are other viral illnesses that produce a post-viral fatigue syndrome, such as infectious mononucleosis, often referred to as mono, which is more commonly caused by the Epstein-Barr virus.

Sometimes a precursor to ME/CFS post-viral fatigue syndrome can occur after virtually any viral infection.

But 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.

Problems in this area, the autonomic nervous system, are common in post-viral fatigue syndrome and ME/CFS.

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.
