“We don’t test for viruses in kids, not even for cohorting.”
I get that’s how it is, but that’s not how it should be… and I reckon most parents would not want their “sick enough to go to hospital” kid to be catching more bugs.
We must do better.

So often doctors, researchers, and the media miss this 👇
They flatten post-exertional malaise (PEM) into one symptom: fatigue.
My neurologist did this. Rather than argue I decided to count.
I had over ❗️50 ❗️new or worsened symptoms during my last major PEM.

PEM is not a single symptom; it's a pathological state in which response to exertion is shock-like: drops in BP, drops in oxygenation, drops in HR, drops in temp, transient drops in cognitive ability.
And doing exercise more, or harder, or more often does not alter the nature of the response.
