Dr Alan Moreau's new, low-stress protocol for provoking PEM.[Thoughts?]

Sorry that is confusing (I use that term for my son, it makes it easier on him emotionally) recovery back to base line. I need a better way of explaining.

I just call it getting back to ‘normal for me’

ETA I’ve adapted to this to avoid using the R word with friends and family in case they misunderstand

As for doing another CEP test, that fills me with cold chills and makes you an endurance athlete and an #MEhero

Ha Ha Ha ! Maybe not a hero, but certainly a desperate human being... My life feels like it has no purpose. This helps me stay alive,

This would be in line with anecdotal observations discussed on other fora that massage makes many patients worse.

That's true for me. Or it was true, many years ago, when I tried massage a couple of times.

I learned pretty quickly that massage made me feel worse. So I stopped doing it.

As I recall my main symptoms were muscle aches along with the overall "flu-ish" feeling, not fatigue. But it has been a long time so my memory could be wrong.

I totally get that it helps to feel like you have a purpose, still makes you a hero

Yep that is a good way to be with friends and family.
