Any experience with Post-exertion Malaise (PEM) symptom of Long Covid?

Your comment about feeling "poisoned" is so interesting. I was diagnosed with ME/CFS in 1984 and had two bouts of Covid in one year followed by LC. Through it all, I have felt like I was poisoned. Other ME/CFS patients have reported this also.

Here is the link to the Doctor discussing "Adrenal Fatigue". I found it very interesting and could relate. I think it would be a great thing to research PEM, CF, Long COVID and other autoimmune disorders and if it these have any correlation to adrenal fatigue.

That is the only word I know to describe how I feel in the mornings. Some mornings are worse than others and it is usually due to overdoing the day before, which is not really overdoing but it is now that I have this virus in my body. I believe that it is due to inflammation. I actually believe that most autoimmune diseases are a product of inflammation. I watched a video of a doctor describing adrenal fatigue. It was spot on as well. I will try to find the link. It is a YouTube video. It is almost as if the body has just said "enough!!" The PEM varies. As an example, I went to an appointment last Thursday. I usually do not go many places because I just do not feel good. So, went to the appointment and woke up Friday morning feeling really "poisoned." That is the PEM. It is brutal as you know.
