“Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a serious long-term illness that affects many body systems. People with ME/CFS are often not able to do their usual activities. At times ME/CFS may confine them to bed. People with ME/CFS have severe fatigue & sleep problems. ME/CFS may get worse after people with the illness try to do as much as they want or need to do. This symptom is known as post-exertional malaise (PEM). Other symptoms can include problems with thinking & concentrating, pain & dizziness

“Post-exertional malaise (PEM) is the worsening of symptoms after even minor physical, mental or emotional exertion. PEM can be addressed by activity management, also called pacing. The goal of pacing is to learn to balance rest & activity to avoid PEM flare-ups which can be caused by exertion that patients with ME/CFS cannot tolerate. To do this, patients need to find their individual limits for mental and physical activity. Then they need to plan activity & rest to stay within these limits. Some patients & doctors refer to staying within these limits as staying within the energy envelope. The limits may be different for each patient. Keeping activity & symptom diaries may help patients find their personal limits, especially early on in the illness

“For some patients with ME/CFS, even daily chores & activities such as cleaning, preparing a meal, or taking a shower can be difficult & may need to be broken down into shorter, less strenuous pieces. Rehabilitation specialists or exercise physiologists who know ME/CFS may help patients with adjusting to life with ME/CFS. Patients who have learned to listen to their bodies might benefit from carefully increasing exercise to improve fitness & avoid deconditioning. However, exercise is not a cure for ME/CFS

“Patients with ME/CFS need to avoid ‘push & crash’ cycles through carefully managing activity. “Push & crash” cycles are when someone with ME/CFS is having a good day and tries to push to do more than they would normally attempt (do too much, crash, rest, start to feel a little better, do too much once again). This can then lead to a “crash” (worsening of ME/CFS symptoms). Finding ways to make activities easier may be helpful, like sitting while doing the laundry or showering, taking frequent breaks & dividing large tasks into smaller steps.

“Any activity or exercise plan for people with ME/CFS needs to be carefully designed with input from each patient. While vigorous aerobic exercise can be beneficial for many chronic illnesses, patients with ME/CFS do not tolerate such exercise routines. Standard exercise recommendations for healthy people can be harmful for patients with ME/CFS. However, it is important that patients with ME/CFS undertake activities that they can tolerate, as described above.

“Love & compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive”

“All people are united in our pursuit of happiness & our desire to avoid suffering. This is the source of humanity’s greatest achievements. For that reason, we should begin to think & act on the basis of an identity rooted in the words ‘we humans.’”

~ XIV Dalai Lama
