Maybe infections can cause long term issues instead of maybe coincidentally they got a psychiatric condition after an infection, maybe post infection illness is the reason

If we try to treat a me/cfs patient with pulmonary rehabilitation you will be doing measurable harm to these people. Test every single symptom to understand who is experiencing symptoms as a result of well documented organ damage and who is experiencing symptoms based on long covid.

Herpesvirus infection endothelial damage, infection of endothelial cells plays a central role in ME/CFS, Herpesvirus especially EBV and HHV-6 can infect endothelial cells leading to long term dysfunction persistent ME/CFS with symptoms like fatigue, cognitive issues, and coagulation abnormalities, infected cells may impair blood flow, induce inflammation, and cause endothelial dysfunction.

PODCASTS
Mildly impaired people with ME/CFS may be able to keep working or going to school with careful planning and activity management. These strategies may also allow them to keep participating in social and family activities.
Moderately impaired people with ME/CFS may have trouble maintaining a regular work schedule. They may limit social and family activities in order to keep working.
Severely affected people with ME/CFS may be wheelchair-dependent and house- or bed-bound. This severity can last for months or even years. Patients who are bed-bound might need assistance performing daily tasks, such as bathing or cooking.

ME/CFS Basics
ME/CFS is a serious and often long-lasting illness that keeps people from doing their usual activities. It makes physical and mental exertion difficult. Symptoms include trouble thinking, severe tiredness and other symptoms. There is no known cause or cure. Care usually means treating the symptoms that most affect a person’s life.

Diagnosis
ME/CFS is a chronic, multisystem illness. People with ME/CFS are often unable to do their previous activities. Some people may be homebound or even bedbound. About 9 in 10 people with ME/CFS have not been diagnosed. ME/CFS often follows an infection. ME/CFS is a disabling and complex illness. The cause of ME/CFS is unknown, and there is no specific test to diagnose ME/CFS. Instead, healthcare providers can use diagnostic criteria developed in 2015 by the Institute of Medicine (IOM). The patient must have all three of the following symptoms: Decreased activity levels for more than 6 months, with new fatigue not relieved by rest. Post-exertional malaise. Unrefreshing sleep. And at least one of two of the following symptoms: Problems thinking or concentrating. Dizziness or fainting when standing (known as orthostatic intolerance). When diagnosing ME/CFS, it is important to assess the frequency and severity of symptoms.

People with PI-ME/CFS brains misinterpret effort or exertion, making even small activities feel overwhelming. This dysfunction could be a neurological basis for chronic fatigue and the feeling of being physically and mentally drained after minimal exertion.

Why This Matters for Patients & Doctors:
This study proves that ME/CFS isn’t just “in your head”. There are real, measurable biological changes happening. Patients can use this research to help validate their symptoms with doctors and push for better care, especially when discussing immune, metabolic, and neurological dysfunction.
