A major new review from Yale (Moen, Baker, Iwasaki, 2025) offers the most comprehensive picture yet of what SARS-CoV-2 does to the nervous system.
The conclusion is stark:
Long COVID is a chronic neuroimmune disorder affecting brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves.🧵

My story is in the news. I’m overwhelmed by the kindness, messages, and support. Thank you for reading, for sharing, and for making this invisible illness little more seen. I’m still deeply moved and endlessly grateful. #MECFS#ChronicIllness#LongCovid

Millions of us are missing. You won’t see most of us. You won’t hear most of us. Could you imagine if you caught a virus and never recovered? Drs dismissed you are could offer no help. Family and friends couldn’t understand why you weren’t the old you any longer.

The Off-Label process in Germany? Slow & blocked by bureaucracy. While Austria already published a list for #MECFS , Germany remains stuck in cautious committees.
