I wanted to remind everyone interested in this to be sure to get up to date with the research and treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome. These poor people who have endured this diagnosis have been dismissed and maligned for years, and now we’re learning that they endure the same symptoms and the same dismissive attitude as long haulers.

Patient Navigators are usually hired by clinics or organizations to optimize care, especially for those who may be challenged due to social determinants and circumstances.
