But we do have a term for it… the term is long COVID. Please have some respect for the patients who were the first to name what was and is happening to us. We don’t need outsiders swooping in after years of ignoring us to try to rename our experience.

ME/CFS is the one. Often caused by EBV but also by a range of other infectious diseases.

EBV doesn't just lead to MS it leads to many life threatening autoimmune illnesses. I have one.
