Background: Three systematic reviews all concluded that exercise is an effective treatment for long COVID. Objective: To determine if exercise therapy is also an effective treatment for long COVID patients who suffer from Post-Exertional Malaise (PEM) or Post-Exertional Symptom Exacerbation...

I have started this thread in order to reduce diversion of another thread where the subject arose. Here are a couple of quotes from that thread: My questions for discussion: pwME experiences: Is the worsening of symptoms triggered by sensory stimuli such as light and sound the same from a...

Objective Post-exertional malaise (PEM) is a common and debilitating symptom of post-acute COVID-19 syndrome (PACS), and it is also included in the core outcome set for PACS. Our aims are to determine the prevalence of PEM in patients with PACS, and to review the measurement tools utilized in...

#MEAction and Patient-led Research Collaborative have created a four-part video series focusing on post-exertional malaise and pacing. Each video includes an interview with an expert conducted by Chimére L. Sweeney, a Long COVID author, speaker, filmmaker, and writer. We are thankful for the...

I get much more hungry during crashes. Not sure if it's anxious eating, since my anxiety also increases, or related to some mechanism of ME. I have been averaging around 2000 calories for a few weeks. I'm in a crash now from some intense computer focus sessions the past few days, and I'm at...

New here. An ME blogger suggested I bring this idea here for discussion. Will leave out 9/10ths of this idea, looking to see if there's interest in discussion, and most importantly...facts which make this wrong. There’s a protein called myoglobin. It is expressed on muscle cells. One end of...

Discussion moved from this thread But the question is - what is 'exhaustion' in the context of ME/CFS. We have little evidence that it is actually depletion of energy reserves or a 'run down battery'. It certainly seems to feel like that but there is no shortage of oxygen or glucose and almost...

Not sure if there are many other examples, but Ron Davis mentions one potentially successful case (or could be spontaneous remission) of someone recovering after avoiding crashes for a year: "One researcher had ME and she didn't have a crash and after a year she got better."

In the patient community, it seems somewhat common to refer to instances where PEM (or a crash) led to worsening of the condition which was permanent. I have however yet to find a reference to this in the literature, if someone knows of one, I would be grateful as it is of interest to me, thanks!

I’m curious.

Preprint Background A central feature of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is post exertional malaise (PEM), which is an acute worsening of symptoms after a physical, emotional and/or mental exertion. PEM is also a feature of Long COVID. Dynamic measures of PEM have...
