Are Ross River Virus symptoms and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome related?
« on: 11/11/2009 08:30:01 »
Dirk Slawinski asked the Naked Scientists:
   
Hi Chris,

I'm just listening to the Oct 11 podcast (I'm two behind) and considering the similarity to Ross River Virus symptoms and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome are the viruses related?  Since I potentially have Ross River (still waiting for the blood test) I am keen to see how best to manage the lethargy and "arthritis" that I could potentially have for a number of years.

Dirk

    Hi Dirk

    I don't think so. Ross River has very stereotyped symptoms of arthritis and stiffness. Chronic fatigue is more of a spectrum of symptoms that are also not continuous or consistent in the way the Ross River affects people.

    I hope you are feeling better now, incidentally.
