TMS & "Long Haul" COVID-19

[MindMood]

I'm posting this with hopes that will be helpful to those who are experiencing an increase in TMS symptoms due to the COVID-19 pandemic:

For several months, there have been reports of many people dealing with "long haul" symptoms after recovering from the COVID-19 virus. In many cases, they are being diagnosed with ME/CFS, and medical experts are "stumped." It is a shame that medical experts don't put more stock in the mindbody component.

Here are some article links about COVID-19 "Long Haul" / CFS:

• Dr. Anthony Fauci says that post-covid syndrome "is highly suggestive of" Myalgic Encephalomyelitis
• I’m a COVID-19 Long-Hauler and Was Just Diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
  
• Explanations for ‘long Covid’ remain elusive.

This is a really interesting topic. I’ve also wondered if symptoms from
COVID are also TMS related and even if TMS has something to do with who gets COVID and how bad it is. I’ve also noticed an uptick in myself of classic TMS symptoms within this year. There is definitely a lot of stress and anger around the coronavirus.
