Historical quotes on the importance of rest for people with ME:

“Premature activity should be avoided because of the danger that relapse might be provoked.”

/Compston, Epidemic at Royal Free Hospital, 1956.

#StopRestPace #pwME #MEcfs “Rest proved the sheet-anchor in the management of the acute stage. (...) The evil effects of premature exertion, even a prolonged neurological examination, became apparent to all.”

/The medical staff of the Royal Free Hospital, “An outbreak of encephalomyelitis”, 1957.
