OMF adds urgency to the search for answers by driving transformational philanthropy into global research. Understanding these alterations in key pathways can lead to groundbreaking discoveries including new biomarkers, drug targets, and prevention and treatment strategies.Įstablished in 2012, Open Medicine Foundation leads the largest, concerted worldwide nonprofit effort to diagnose, treat, and prevent ME/CFS and related chronic, complex diseases such as Post Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, and Post COVID. The focus of this study is to find the biological differences between persons returning to good health after COVID-19 and persons who remained ill more than six months after infection and developed ME/CFS. I’ve had over 50 symptoms since I got ill with ME and most of the above and although my Neurologist acknowledged them as being part of my illness, the CFS clinic I went to would only acknowledge fatigue and 8 other symptoms under the Fukuda Diagnostic criteria they used there. The ability to follow the development of ME/CFS from a known viral infection is unprecedented to date and crucial to researchers’ understanding of the disease. It is a mere diagnosis of exclusion (or wastebasket diagnosis) based on the presence of gradual or acute onset fatigue lasting 6 months. For example, according to the CDC about one in ten infected with Epstein-Barr virus, Ross River virus, or Coxiella burnetti develop symptoms that meet the criteria for ME/CFS. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is an artificial construct created in the US in 1988 for the benefit of various political and financial vested interest groups. In a significant percentage of patients, infections preceded their development of ME/CFS.
When fully funded, the five million dollar, three-year study will be conducted across the globe at OMF funded Collaborative Research Centers, led by some of the world’s top researchers and ME/CFS experts. OMF has already engaged researchers for the largest-scale study of its kind, solely supported by private donors who have contributed over one million dollars to date. The federal government is only now investing in Post-COVID research, with no focus on its connection to ME/CFS. The goal is to find targeted treatments for ME/CFS patients and ultimately prevent its onset in people infected with SARS-CoV-2 or other infections. This crisis presented a unique opportunity to understand how a viral infection - in this case COVID-19 - may develop into ME/CFS in some patients. OMF recognized a familiar health crisis emerging, one with eerie similarities to ME/CFS. Along with fatigue, people with ME/CFS might report other symptoms including: Breathing changes Heart palpitations Dizziness after standing Slow digestion Bowel and bladder dysfunction Headaches Insomnia, sleeping too much, or the need to sleep during the day Nausea Vomiting Night sweats Low. An estimated 35 percent of Americans who had COVID-19 have failed to fully recover several months after infection, prompting many to call it “a potential second pandemic.” alone suffer from ME/CFS the COVID-19 pandemic could at least double that number. Open Medicine Foundation (OMF) is leading a large-scale international collaborative study investigating the potential conversion of Post-Acute Sequelae SARS-CoV-2 infection - more commonly known as Long COVID or Post-COVID Syndrome - to Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), a chronic, life-altering disease with no known cause, diagnostic test or FDA approved treatments available. Doctors do not know what causes ME/CFS, and. The condition is also sometimes called chronic fatigue syndrome. People living with ME/CFS often experience other symptoms, like unrefreshing sleep and muscle aches.
