DEAR DR. ROACH: I have heard comparisons of long COVID to chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). My question is, are you more susceptible to long COVID if you've previously had CFS? Thirty years ago, I developed CFS following a bad case of the flu. I went from running marathons to being bedridden. Over the course of seven years, I gradually recovered, and eight years after my diagnosis, I was back to running marathons.

I am now 75 and have so far avoided getting COVID. I have received all of the vaccines and boosters, and I have been careful to limit my exposure as much as possible. But I fear if I do get COVID, which is apparently inevitable, I may lapse into a chronic condition again. -- A.W.

ANSWER: I think you are very insightful, as the syndrome of persistent symptoms after a COVID infection shares many characteristics of CFS, which is now generally called myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). People with a history of ME/CFS are, indeed, at a higher risk for developing long COVID symptoms.
