I have #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis. It’s been 9 days since @MEActNet’s #StillSickStillFighting action + I wanted y’all to have a glimpse of what #PEM is. Post-exertional malaise is the hallmark symptom for #pwME#MECFS, which half of #pwLC#LongCovid have #NEISvoid (1/18)
When we push ourselves beyond our energy envelope + don’t #StopRestPace, we end up with #PEM, where we “crash” and get much sicker. (I’m in the front here! We’re used to lying down, but getting up + down, lying on the hot pavement while chanting is really rough for us!) (2/18)
