A lot can happen in the 48 hours after exertion.
In this clip from How to Manage and Treat Post-Exertional Malaise (PEM), Dr. Lucinda Bateman shares findings from an early exercise study in people with ME/CFS showing measurable changes in markers related to immune, autonomic, and neurologic signaling after exercise, including changes that persisted at the 48-hour mark.
She also explains how repeated exertion before the body has recovered may contribute to rolling PEM or stacked crashes.
Join Dr. David Putrino, Dr. Lucinda Bateman, Dr. Jennifer Curtin, and moderator Charlie McCone for the full discussion.

Pretty stunning clip I’d never seen before comparing patients with post exertional malaise to healthy controls after 25 min of excercise — fantastic vid to watch to better understand #LongCovid & #MECFS
It’s not too late to start trying to avoid Covid again. Many people who followed the “Covid is mild” deceleration continue on without masking and using other mitigations because of shame, guilt and peer pressure. Don’t.
Some people think, “well it’s too late now” because they have had multiple infections. But it isn’t. Limiting new infections at any point is never a bad thing.
There is no shame in changing course, returning to masking, isolating when sick, protecting yourself and your kids, “it’s mild” was what we all hoped for, we needed it to be, but it just wasn’t/isn’t the case.
If you’re one of the many who notices that that things are “off”, and you’re on the fence about masking/mitigations, get off that fence and protect yourself and your loved ones now.
Another objective vascular fingerprint of COVID.
A Munich team measured retinal vessels across three groups. Never infected, people who caught COVID and recovered, people with long COVID.
The retina - you can watch the microcirculation directly.
In (long) COVID, it looks different🧵
