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

Hi, I have this condition as well. I saw a long COVID Dr., last week and I will begin rehab to address this issue along with heavy leg syndrome. I will post how that goes in the next several weeks. It has been the most troublesome outcome for me. I developed neuropathy as a result of long COVID as well. I think it's interesting that I never lost my sense of taste or smell. It has been about nerves in my body and inflammation issues.

Sending healing hope as you begin with a new physician….thank you for sharing.
Apparently the COVID virus damages the nervous system--especially the autonomic nervous system. So many of the symptoms are apparently related to that damage, which varies from person to person. Good luck!

I'm on 26 months now and the pem seems to have gotten worse complicated by benign tremors which I had but not a great deal and is now a lot more. I've tried PT for walking with a little success but for weight not so much and I was going to the gym for five times a week before the pandemic. Over at pem is one of the most common effects along with brain fog. So I really have no advice.
