Resource to share with doctors who don't know what to do for you!

This attachment is for people who have Long COVID with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Chronic Fatigue includes PEM (Post-Exertional Malaise). That means you get excessively fatigued after any mental or physical activity, and includes getting emotionally upset. (Ask me how I know. 😂)

Thanks for this article. The PEM symptoms of Long Covid have been the most challenging. I think most people don't understand how this fatigue is not "being tired" but a debilitating condition where the simplest tasks can seem overhwelming and every day must be planned with pacing and rest and not overdoing. I will share this with my Dr. as he runs marathons and doesn't understand why I can't get back to exercising again. How do you explain that a walk to the mailbox and back means sitting down and resting to recover.?
