After being couchbound for 6 months, I’ve been on Mestinon for a few weeks now with good results - I am hopeful that I can start slowly (SLOWLY) building back movement & strength. I’ve been reading up on exercising with CFS & POTS, and am curious about the Klimas protocol where you go super slow & gentle, never push beyond your anaerobic threshold or VO2max. There’s a good Health Rising blog on this from 2013!

Curious if it still is best practice, or if we’ve learned more/rethought in the last decade.

Have you tried this? How has it worked for you?

Extra curious cause I see a lot about the Klimas protocol from materials published 2013-15, and I know GET was still considered best practice my a lot of the medical community then. I want to try gentle strength-building but am hella scared of triggering a crash and rolling PEM…
