Post-exertional malaise (PEM) is often misunderstood and dismissed as mere fatigue, but it’s a much more complex and serious condition.
I’m joined by Dr. Melanie Hoppers, a dedicated physician from the Bateman Horne Center of Excellence. We discuss the symptoms and severe impact PEM can have on those dealing with conditions like ME/CFS and long COVID.
Dr. Hoppers shares her personal journey, motivated by her daughter’s battle with chronic illness. She provides invaluable insights on identifying and managing PEM, offering practical advice on pacing and the effects of emotional and cognitive stress.
Learn how to advocate for yourself, understand your body’s signals, and find hope in the midst of chronic illness.
