Post-exertional malaise (PEM) is something that everyone with M.E. experiences.
PEM can have a profound impact on the daily lives of individuals with severe and very #SevereME.
PEM can have a profound impact on the daily lives of individuals with severe and very #SevereME.
For people with #SevereME, sensory overload, such as bright lights, loud noises, and strong smells can severely exacerbate #MECFSsymptoms, including triggering PEM, which can last for days, weeks or even permanently.
#pwSevereME need to take critical measures to prevent sensory overload from causing PEM. For example, they may need to limit exposure to triggering stimuli, use earplugs or noise-cancelling headphones, wear sunglasses, and reduce exposure to screens and technology.
By raising awareness about the debilitating reality of #SevereME and the consequences of PEM, we can help educate others and promote greater understanding and empathy for those living with this disease.
This can lead to improved support and resources and increased funding for research into effective treatments and, one day, a cure.
