A new CDC study shows that COVID can lead to unrelenting exhaustion—here’s why the virus may trigger chronic fatigue, according to infectious disease experts.
A lot of viral illnesses can completely wipe you out, and, as we’ve learned throughout the pandemic, COVID-19 is no exception. But as conversations about the impact of long COVID continue to swirl, scientists are exploring just how common chronic fatigue might be after a bout with the virus. Turns out, the risk is higher than you might think, according to a new study from the CDC published in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases.
Another biggie: “We believe, in long COVID, that many people have this ongoing inflammatory response,” Thomas Russo, MD, professor and chief of infectious disease at the University at Buffalo in New York, tells SELF. When your immune system reacts to a possible threat—in this case, an infection—it uses an “army” of specialized cells and proteins to fend off whatever’s making you sick.
