I think you could say this about almost anything found in serum.

I get this from time to time. So far, it has only lasted a few days at a time so I have not tried anything. I'm sorry I don't have any suggestions. Best wishes, hope it goes soon.

26 years First 10 years progressively worse (mild to moderate) Next 14 years generally stable (moderate) Next 2 years moderate to severe

I think you're right Trish.

There is no specific advice at all. It will be interesting to find out what the online fatigue management course is like.

The statement "The human body requires activity in order to produce energy" simply does not make biological sense. The vast majority of energy expenditure in the human body is resting energy which does not require any activity. Overall, the advice about fatigue, activity, and exercise is very...

There is a section on grading activity, which it says is “a key concept in the management of fatigue” This section doesn’t seem clear to me at all. ”Grading activity may involve a gradual change in the nature of the activity by changing one or more of the component parts.” It then advises to...

In the first section, these sentences are particularly concerning: “Do you remain at low activity levels and get stuck at this point, often causing worry about doing more and symptoms potentially worsening” “Are your fatigue levels not changing and you feel like you are stuck in the same...

There is a list of benefits of exercise, and no negatives are mentioned, yet it says "don't focus on the negatives of exercise".

There is a section on The Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion which it says is related to heart rate, but it does not give any information about how to use this. Then: Avoid pushing too hard on good days Don’t compare yourself to where you were previously Don’t focus on the negatives of exercise...

"Start thinking about a gradual return to exercise What could I do previously? What do I know I can do now without triggering fatigue/ other symptoms? What do I want to return to? Begin with a short, flat walk daily Increase the distance/ time gradually – this will vary from person to person...

In the Exercise and Fatigue section: "Why is activity important? Covid-19 is a coronavirus. A virus will trigger an immune response. This immune response can cause inflammation, pain, weakness. Initially bed rest and reduced activity levels can aid recovery. However, reduced activity can also...

There is no mention of post-exertional malaise, only one mention of post-exertional fatigue in the Exercise and Fatigue section: "Slowly increase the pace of each walk until at a comfortable pace without any post-exertional fatigue." Here is the table of contents: What is post-viral fatigue...

Thank you @Ariel. The booklet is quite comprehensive and I would say it has been written for people recovering from COVID, rather than for people with long COVID. It includes a section on conserving energy which is based upon 4 Ps: planning, pacing, prioritising and positioning. Examples are...

I have had ME for 26 years and had COVID last year. I have been referred to a COVID clinic and had a triage appointment with a physiotherapist last week. I have an appointment with a consultant in May 2022. (All appointments have been by phone except for a chest X ray and blood tests). I will be...

Excellent point

Has anyone looked though? I had massive clots (severe bilateral deep vein thrombosis) a few years after onset, but before diagnosis of ME/CFS.

Apologies for posting something I'd not yet read - I won't do that again.

Here is a paper which examines mind-body theory in relation to medicine. I can't actually recommend it as I have not yet read it - it is on my to-do list. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3115289/ Mind-body Dualism: A critique from a Health Perspective** Neeta Mehta, PhD.*...
