Being told I will feel worse initially but better in the long run when my lived experience of ‘pushing through’ proves the exact opposite…

I swear GET (graded exercise therapy) was slashed for this exact reason and pacing is now recommended instead?

Why are we still being encouraged to exercise despite PEM 😭

I wish I could, I try when I can but the more I push the worse my quality of life gets….
