Reddit - Interesting posts on Reddit, including what some doctors say about ME/CFS

What about

"First-line treatment for these patients is pacing, which is the art of staying within the energy envelope in order to avoid post-exertional malaise. Repeated triggering of post-exertional malaise can and often does lead to worsened physical functioning over time. At worst, these patients end up bed-bound, unable to eat, and require enteral nutritional support, as well as 24-hour caregiver support. It's a really horrendous disease.

I'm actually writing a book on the subject and offering peer-to-peer consultation support, because most of these patients go without diagnosis or treatment. Thank you so much for your curiosity and interest in these patients. They're a fantastic group to treat once you know what you're doing."?
