Hello my chickadees! In this episode of That Chronic Thing, we dive into the internal battery metaphor, a common way to explain energy depletion in ME/CFS. I share my experience attending a festival with my faulty battery and the onset of post-exertional malaise (PEM) that followed. We’ll discuss what PEM is, strategies to avoid it, and how to manage when it hits. Plus, I’ll provide practical tips from personal experience and the Open Medicine Foundation’s PEM Avoidance Toolkit to help navigate daily life with ME/CFS.
