Post-Exertional Malaise: Cause and Effect
One of the labels I absolutely HATE is that of being de-conditioned. Doctors make this assumption about me all the time, despite the fact that I exercise six days a week and have engaged in some form of physical activity most of the time since I first became ill 13 years ago. While I realize I am not as fit as a healthy person, I push myself as far as my body will allow.
