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

Posted by ann728 @ann728, 4 days ago

I am diagnosed with Long Covid and symptoms include fatigue, insomnia, and post exertion malaise (PET). I can’t find much research on PET especially the treatment component. Anyone with suggestions on developing a quality of life with pacing strategies?

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.

I found this to be extremely informative. I believe that the adrenal gland is affected by Long COVID, along with life and stress.
