The fastest way to decline with #longcovid#MECFS is to get into a boom-bust crash cycle. Triggering PEM and "pushing through" = mitochondrial damage. I know this is tough to hear and even tougher to figure out, but determining your "functional stability limits" is KEY.

Proposed mechanisms underlying ME/CFS.
Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) presents as a range of symptoms that affect multiple organ systems. Enteric dysbiosis, neurological and immune dysfunction, as well as impaired mitochondrial function are implicated in the pathomechanism of ME/CFS. These symptoms also occur in Long Covid, although with differing prevalence.

Drawing of human, symptoms listed:
Cognitive impairments
Sore throat
Respiratory difficulties
Cardiovascular disturbance
Nephrotic disorders
Neuropathy
Tender or swollen lymph nodes
Metabolic dysfunction
Irritable bowel disease–like syndrome
Joint pain
Muscle pain

Four drawings in squares with texts:
1 Volumetric changes and reduced cerebral blood flow
2 Gastrointestinal dysbiosis and inflammation
3 Altered metabolism and mitochondrial structure; mutated mitochondrial DNA
4 Impaired natural killer cell cytotoxicty and transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channel function
