Pacing isn’t curative but it’s a necessary skill for people living with energy limiting conditions. ME and ME-like conditions that are associated with known deficits in aerobic metabolism. Obviously I teach pacing and that’s centered on patients’ specific self-identified needs.

Daring to believe that I'm on some kind of route to #recovery from #LongCovid #PEM. My raised 'Lactate Heartrate' from around 100bpm to c.138bpm, following months of careful #micropacing (HT @robinthephysio) should allow me to reintroduce some activities. Just had a shower 😲🎉

@useless_priest @visible_health @NuffieldHealth @robinthephysio My resting HR was 50-ish. Originally, back in May, my lactate threshold was around 110bpm, so I set alerts for 105bpm. I used a treadmill to gradually increase my heartrate and to discover a gradually rising lactate threshold; it's now around 130bpm so I only get alerts at 127!

@useless_priest @visible_health @NuffieldHealth @robinthephysio All from not over-exerting. Stopping moving and resting before my body produces lactic acid. It's working for me! I can go for days without hitting 127bpm. A woman on Facebook recently told me that her latate threshold is now 140 bpm. This effectively allows 'normal' activity.

Well done!! A thing of beauty @benking01 So glad you found the YouTube I did with @BinitaKane so useful. You are part of our inspiration to produce further free to access resources in the New Year, watch this space 👍

The @visible_health app. offers a downloadable summary Health Report. Over this timescale it's clear to see a reduction in my symptoms and an overall improvement in my health. Thanks to heartrate monitoring and, since September, the @NuffieldHealth #LongCovid Rehab. course.

@frieke72 @Gmwetz @BinitaKane I certainly touched on that with Binita, think I also discussed it with @JulieTa58407536 in the first podcast I did with her podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/liv…

frieke72 @ mstdn.social@frieke72·24 Kas

@Gmwetz I think I picked this up from a @robinthephysio or @BinitaKane webinar

Why PEM after showering but not after shopping? Subjectively speaking, the act of shopping is more strenuous than showering. Ideas ? Dysautonomy ? Nervous system ? Lactate build up ?

For anyone interested in the pathophysiology of MECFS there’s a nice infographic here from this review article; jci.org/articles/view/… LOTS more research needs to be done of course. In clinical practice the vascular dysregulation is something I very much recognise 🧵

In less severe patients my colleague and friend @robinthephysio is finding reduced lactate thresholds, with patients switching from ‘green’ (aerobic) to ‘red’ (anaerobic) at low effort and heart rate levels - a key cause of PEM/PESE the cornerstone symptoms of ME 3/
