    Preventing Post Exertional Malaise - online talk with Staci Stevens and Dr Mark Van Ness - Thurs 22nd Oct 2:30pm

    Data point of one: For me, walking is poison, leads to a crash of several weeks with utterly zero benefit. It does not reach the threshold to provide exercise. The only thing worse than walking is standing. With a series of conditions and restrictions too long to insert here, real exercise (HR...

    New Zealand Video: Exercise and ME/CFS, 2020, Lyn Hodges

    Do people with post-viral sequelae from Wuhan Virus NCOV-2019-SARS-2 typically have PEM?
