Preventing PEM often means looking beyond exertion alone.
In this clip, @LBatemanMD from @BatemanHorne discusses approaches that may support baseline function, including improving restorative sleep and using fluids strategically before upright activity. She explains why identifying and managing individual contributors, such as orthostatic intolerance, mast cell activation, immune dysfunction, and recurrent viral reactivation, may help reduce crashes. She also shares how targeted treatments, including antivirals and immunoglobulin, may be considered for select patients based on their individual clinical picture.

Could dextromethorphan help reduce the severity of PEM?
In this clip, Dr. Lucinda Bateman from the @BatemanHorne discusses how she has been experimenting with dextromethorphan as a tool for PEM, particularly before and immediately after activities that are likely to trigger a crash.
She also shares why she uses it conservatively, what she has observed in patients with Long COVID and ME/CFS, and the important limitations in what we currently know about longer-term use.

Just over a year later, she has opened an ME/CFS clinic in Tel Aviv!

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.
