Germany Declares 'National Decade Against Post-Infectious Diseases'

The German government has launched a ten-year initiative to find the underlying biological mechanisms and effective treatments for post-infective diseases. The 'National Decade Against Post-Infectious Diseases' initiative commits 500 million Euros over ten years ($540 million) and will specifically focus on ME/CFS. Federal Research Minister Dorothee Bär, in announcing the strategy, noted that "The need for research is enormous: for ME/CFS and post-viral autoimmune diseases there are still no simple solutions or therapies, and previous studies demonstrate the complexity of the disease mechanisms." — Germany Declares 'National Decade Against Post-Infectious Diseases' The German government has launched a ten-year initiative to find the underlying biological mechanisms and effective treatments for post-infective diseases.

"Reimagining You: Finding identity, meaning, and purpose when life doesn’t look the way it used to"

Blog post by a sympathetic and knowledgeable occupational therapist who specialises in ME/CFS and long Covid.

Reimagining You

Finding identity, meaning, and purpose when life doesn’t look the way it used to.

“Loss of function.” It’s a phrase that feels clinical and detached, but anyone living with chronic illness, post-viral fatigue, cognitive changes, or sudden physical limitations knows that phrase barely scratches the surface. It doesn’t convey the ripple of loss that stretches far beyond the body and reaches deep into the parts of yourself that used to feel familiar and essential.

When you can’t cook your favorite meals, drive yourself to work, shower independently, hold your child, or focus on a task, it isn’t just about energy. — Reimagining You Finding identity, meaning, and purpose when life doesn’t look the way it used to. “Loss of function.” It’s a phrase that feels clinical and detached, but anyone living with chronic illness, post-viral fatigue, cognitive changes, or sudden physical limitations knows that phrase barely scratches the surface.
