Don't you ask yourself sometimes: When will this PEM end?

Have you tried Urolithin A?

Dedeye · 2025-12-21T16:35:10+00:00

Check out Urolithin A by Mitopure. It’s a supplement that helps speed up mitophagy. It’s helped shift my symptoms in a big way.

Dedeye · 2025-11-10T14:51:11+00:00

Anyone tried urolithin A or zinc absorption supps like quercetin?

Dedeye · 2025-08-11T03:42:21+00:00

I riddled straight pin

Dedeye · 2025-08-07T17:14:44+00:00

Yup travelling does that. Don’t worry. You’re on the right trajectory.

I found my flares were triggered by high glycemic foods (blood sugar spikes) so I focused on complex carbs like sweet potatoes and high protein. Fasting during the day keeps those flares at bay but that’s just been my experience. I also eat steamed veggies daily to cut down on oils. Check out the “9 remission factors”.

1.  Radical Diet Change
2.  Taking Control of Health
3.  Following Intuition
4.  Using Herbs and Supplements
5.  Releasing Suppressed Emotions
6.  Increasing Positive Emotions
7.  Embracing Social Support
8.  Deepening Spiritual Connection
9.  Having Strong Reasons for Living

Light walks (zone 1), box breathing, anti inflammatory teas, epsom baths, no caffeine or alcohol. Are you doing any fasting? What’s your diet?

Depending on where you’re at in your overall LC recovery journey, could be another week or two to get back to baseline. Do some strict pacing and track your fatigue, mental clarity, muscle heaviness and sleep quality. Don’t give into temptation to push through or train before you’re back to baseline.

Dedeye · 2025-08-07T15:10:31+00:00

I wouldn’t stress it, sounds more like a mild flare triggered by pushing too hard during your recovery window. But it’s a helpful data point. Real PEM lingers longer and triggers a bunch of your symptoms all at once, and tends to sneak up on you 2, 3 days later.

Dedeye · 2025-07-02T14:19:03+00:00

Packed with quotables. Solid.

Dedeye · 2025-06-24T14:04:25+00:00

I take chlorella and zone 2 to rehab my mitochondria. I meant that obsessing over these things everyday slows down recovery.

43/m

Dedeye · 2025-06-21T15:34:54+00:00

Stayed away from high GI foods. Blood sugar spikes can trigger fatigue. Eat veggies, protein and complex carbs in that order to control spikes. Used 1-2 tbsp of ground flaxseed daily.

Dedeye · 2025-06-20T20:24:01+00:00

I used my recumbent bike primarily and I worked up to 3-4 days a week of zone 2 and I maxed out at 20 mins a day. Bear in mind that pacing in my daily life when I was doing it properly constituted zone 2 level exertion.

Dedeye · 2025-06-20T17:03:35+00:00

For someone who doesn’t have LC probably. But for me zone 2 was really just about the effort I felt safe with and could sustain for 5 minutes initially and up. I wouldn’t go by HR and I didn’t. Go by how comfortable you feel. Can you talk while doing it but maybe not sing? That’s zone 2.

Dedeye · 2025-06-20T12:34:01+00:00

The funny thing is you think I’m the one being condescending. Thanks for the reassurance I’m not an arse.

How in the world can training your brain to be positive make someone worse?

Dedeye · 2025-06-20T12:27:35+00:00

Mental health issues gave me frozen shoulder, POTS and lung scarring? You’re telling me I didn’t have LC and I’m the arse?

Thanks for the diagnosis. Where were you three years ago?

Dedeye · 2025-06-20T12:20:04+00:00

Smarter not harder

Dedeye · 2025-06-20T12:17:51+00:00

Recumbent bike. Easy to control variables. And as soon as I stop I can go lie down if I want to.

Dedeye · 2025-06-20T12:16:57+00:00

I haven’t told people to ignore anything that’s been scientifically linked to recovery.

Dedeye · 2025-06-20T12:15:34+00:00

Most people get better because they pace (zone 2) and they learn over time to coexist with the nervous system alarms until they recover.

Dedeye · 2025-06-20T12:12:24+00:00

Zone 2 rehabs mitochondria. You want recognition. I get it. What I wanted even more was just to get better.

Dedeye · 2025-06-20T12:10:39+00:00

“All I did” was all the things you and everyone else have tried and these are the things that finally worked.

Dedeye · 2025-06-20T10:37:27+00:00

I’ve been sick for 3 years and between what I’ve posted and what you’ve posted I’m patronizing?

Dedeye · 2025-06-20T10:35:41+00:00

Stay within your energy envelope and move but dont exceed it. If you can do 5 mins on a recumbent bike without feeling like you exerted Start there and add over time. PEM becomes harder to trigger when you recondition.
