#PostCovid

Viele #MECFS- und #PostCovid-Betroffene in #Österreich erhalten trotz gravierender Einschränkungen keine #Berufsunfähigkeitspension oder kein #Pflegegeld.

Eine gemeinsame Recherche zeigt, dass 79 % der eingereichten Anträge abgelehnt wurden, oft ohne Anerkennung der Diagnosen oder des Leitsymptoms #PEM.

Fachleute kritisieren veraltete Gutachtenstandards, fehlende Hausbesuche und die häufige Umdeutung körperlicher Beschwerden in psychische Diagnosen.

Es ist löblich, dass im 🇦🇹 #ÖRR derzeit viel über die Zustände der Versorgung bei #MECFS berichtet und #PostCovid wird.

Aus meiner Sicht - und ich hab so ein Theater mit der #PVA selbst erleben müssen, 7 (!!) Jahre hat das Gerichtsverfahren gedauert gegen Aberkennung #Rehageld - sind in erster Linie die #Gutachter das Problem.

Das was die/der Gutachter/in schreibt ist so. GENAU SO. Und nicht anders. In keinem Fall! Da ist man chancenlos. Unterm Strich entscheidet das #Gutachten.

Diese Doku über dieses System von #Gutachtern sollte man sich anschauen:

Long #COVID Is Associated with Severe Cognitive Limitations Among U.S. Adults

"Overall, 15.1% had #longCOVID. A higher percentage of adults with long COVID (13.1% vs 4.1%) reported severe cognitive limitations compared to no COVID (p < 0.001)”

"An unexpected finding of our study was that 8.7% of LC-POTS participants exhibited aggregates of P-syn on skin biopsy"

medRxiv · Long-COVID Postural Tachycardia Syndrome: A deep phenotyping studyBackground: Postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) has emerged as one of the most common autonomic complications of Long-COVID (LC). However, disease mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Objectives: To evaluate the frequency and severity of autonomic dysfunction in a subset of carefully phenotyped, previously healthy patients with LC-POTS using a detailed protocol of autonomic, cerebrovascular, respiratory, blood, and tissue analyses. Methods: Participants in this study completed a battery of autonomic function tests, including measures of sudomotor, cardiovagal, and sympathetic adrenergic function, and head-up tilt (HUT) with transcranial Doppler measures of cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFv), end-tidal CO2 (ETCO2), cerebral and skeletal muscle near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and plasma catecholamines. Skin biopsy was performed at proximal and distal sites and analyzed for intraepidermal nerve fiber density (IENFD) and phosphorylated α-synuclein (P-Syn). Results were compared to healthy controls (HC) ≥ 3 months post-COVID infection with no lasting sequelae. Results: LC-POTS participants (n=24) exhibited a greater increase in heart rate on HUT (31.1±20.3, p=0.01), and 38% exhibited elevated upright norepinephrine levels consistent with a hyperadrenergic response. CBFv did not significantly differ between LC-POTS and HC (n=10). EtCO2 and NIRS were also similar between groups. Twenty-two percent of LC-POTS and 38% of HC had decreased IENFD on skin biopsy, while 8.7% LC-POTS had dermal P-Syn aggregation on skin biopsy, compared to none of HC. Conclusions: LC-POTS was associated with widespread autonomic dysfunction, including orthostatic tachycardia, sympathetic adrenergic hyperactivity, small fiber neuropathy, and dermal P-Syn deposition. Our findings support the concept of multiple pathophysiological mechanisms in most patients with POTS triggered by SARS-CoV-2. ### Competing Interest Statement Dr. Larsen, Jannika Machnik, Jordan Seliger, and Ruba Shaik have nothing to disclose.

Yes The details of the IRB/oversight body that provided approval or exemption for the research described are given below: IRB of Stanford University gave ethical approval for this work. I confirm that all necessary patient/participant consent has been obtained and the appropriate institutional forms have been archived, and that any patient/participant/sample identifiers included were not known to anyone (e.g., hospital staff, patients or participants themselves) outside the research group so cannot be used to identify individuals. Yes I understand that all clinical trials and any other prospective interventional studies must be registered with an ICMJE-approved registry, such as ClinicalTrials.gov. I confirm that any such study reported in the manuscript has been registered and the trial registration ID is provided (note: if posting a prospective study registered retrospectively, please provide a statement in the trial ID field explaining why the study was not registered in advance). Yes I have followed all appropriate research reporting guidelines, such as any relevant EQUATOR Network research reporting checklist(s) and other pertinent material, if applicable. Yes All data produced in the present study are available upon reasonable request to the authors.
