Urgent PSA : A certain subset of people who get COVID-19 *might* go on to develop an illness called ME. As of now we don& #39;t know for sure or how many could be at risk. But if you do experience symptoms, no matter what doctors might say, you need to *rest* and not push yourself. https://twitter.com/twitchyspoonie/status/1250523656981118976">https://twitter.com/twitchysp...
This is a short explanation of what ME is and what a few of symptoms are: https://www.meaction.net/about/what-is-me/

But mostly my point is, if you begin experiencing lots of fatigue even after the virus has gone, please rest as much as you feel you need to. Don& #39;t push yourself. Many people with ME start out mild and only get severe, debilitating cases after pushing themselves too far.
I don& #39;t want to scare people or fear monger. I just want this information to be out there because it& #39;s likely doctors wouldn& #39;t give it to you. I got ME when I was 9 after getting the flu and didn& #39;t get a diagnosis for over a decade.
Doctors said it was in my head, accused me of faking and said I just needed to exercise more. So I did and it always made me sicker. I& #39;m lucky to only have a moderate case now, but many aren& #39;t so lucky & end up being bedbound for months or years after pushing themselves too far.
Obviously the symptoms can be vague, so just because you have a few doesn& #39;t mean you have ME, but just in case, please rest all you need to. Don& #39;t do anything you don& #39;t feel up to doing. It& #39;s ok to not be productive and just take care of yourself for as long as you need

Also, please do show solidarity with the people who& #39;ve been dealing with ME for years or even decades before now, even if you don& #39;t get it yourself. We& #39;ve been fighting for our human rights for decades and face incredible stigma on top of this awful disease.
