👉Many people (adults/kids) affected by Long Covid experience a disproportionate worsening of their symptoms after even mild physical and/or cognitive activity that might seem completely harmless to any healthy person.

👉It will then take them several hours, days, or even weeks to recover from this condition which can be very disabling.
It is important to learn how to regulate one's activities and physical and/or intellectual load to avoid the recurrence of these post-exertional ailments

and thus fall into a form of chronicity.

👉You can find on the @apresJ20 page information on :
- what post-exertional malaise/ post-exertional symptom exacerbation is
