You Choose

You have limited energy and you need to manage your condition - what would you choose to do?

People affected by ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia, Long Covid and other post-viral conditions can have symptoms that affect the whole body. They might include joint and muscle pain, headaches, vertigo, brain fog, gastro-intestinal problems, sleep problems and a wide variety of other difficulties.

Post-exertional malaise is common to all of these conditions. It means that any activity, however small, might leave the person completely exhausted in the following days. It can be difficult to plan ahead, and it is essential to manage activity and to rest. Without this management, the condition could worsen more permanently. Choices need to be made about what to do, and inevitably this means missing out.
