What are the potential underlying causes and contributing factors to the recent surge in ME/CFS cases?

ME/CFS, previously considered rare, has seen a significant increase in prevalence, possibly doubling post-COVID-19 pandemic. Experts suggest impaired blood circulation, particularly affecting the brain and joints, as a central mechanism, alongside immune system dysfunction and abnormal stress responses. This multi-system illness impacts physical and cognitive function severely.

How does a prior infection trigger ME/CFS, and what are the underlying immunological and circulatory dysfunctions involved?

ME/CFS is a neuroimmunological disease where the immune system doesn't fully rest after infection, leading to ongoing inflammation and sometimes self-attacking antibodies. Poor blood circulation to the brain and muscles, affecting oxygen and energy production, is another key factor. This is linked to the significant fatigue and inability to perform basic tasks experienced by patients.

How does the immune system's role in ME/CFS contribute to its symptoms and the challenges faced by patients?

ME/CFS frequently follows infections like mononucleosis or influenza; in Larissa's case, it was COVID-19. The illness causes extreme fatigue, pain, and cognitive dysfunction, impacting daily life profoundly. Current treatments focus on symptom management, lacking a cure or effective treatment targeting the root causes of the disease.
