#MEAction and Patient-led Research Collaborative have created a four-part video series focusing on post-exertional malaise and pacing. Each video includes an interview with an expert conducted by Chimére L. Sweeney, a Long COVID author, speaker, filmmaker, and writer. We are thankful for the experts that gave their time to this project including Dr. Brayden Yellman, Dr Katherine Rowe, Dr. Todd Davenport (PT), and Brittany Spencer (LCPC). https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhO4nWkiP5QT7UwpByIztcJAjbdSU7SJD
The #MEAction Network Welcome to our first #MedEdMonday! We are excited to introduce the first video in a four-part series focusing on post-exertional malaise and pacing created by Patient-Led Research Collaborative and #MEAction. https://ow.ly/AvWw50Tjcro Our first episode focuses on understanding post-exertional malaise and features an excellent presentation with Dr. Brayden Yellman from Bateman Horne Center with a follow-up by Chimére L. Sweeney. Dr Yellman is a board-certified physician in #MEAction. This presentation focuses on the importance of pacing and PEM (post-exertional malaise). Pacing is a crucial intervention for ME and Long COVID. Let us know what you think in the comments. Thank you to Dr. Yellman for your time and effort. #pwME #LongCovid #MECFS #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #MedEd Image description: Screenshot from a video showing Dr. Yellman (white man with short hair wearing a tie and sweater) sitting in an office speaking to the camera.

Except for perhaps overstating the CPET findings, and leaving out some symptoms/details for extremely severe (unable to communicate) type patients, the series looked rather good. I think I’ll share it to a medical professionals group.
The summary slide has a lot of unsubstantiated stuff on it and some stuff that looks wrong. The definition I don't recognise. CPET is not a measure of PEM etc. I wish people would stick to what we have evidence for.
I'd only include the first and last points as actually accurate. And the last one would have to lose the bullet-points—restorative breaks? The entire case definition of ME/CFS is underpinned by an absence of restoration.
