Logo: Science for ME: Where science and ME/CFS community meet Post-exertional malaise (PEM) Key points  People with ME/CFS have episodes when they are much more ill than usual following physical or mental exertion. This is called post-exertional malaise, or PEM.  PEM is a hallmark of ME/CFS and is important for diagnosis  Activities like a short walk or reading a few pages may trigger PEM. For the most severely ill, even chewing may trigger it. For many, light, sound and other sensory stimuli also trigger PEM. Often it is the combined effect of all activities and stimuli over a day or more that triggers PEM.  PEM usually starts hours or a day or two after it is triggered and can last for hours, days, weeks or longer. During this time, a person cannot do as much as usual and needs to rest.  There is no effective treatment for PEM.  PEM is not the same as the fatigue and muscle soreness anyone can experience after more activity than usual.

Our job is not to throw 15 million people off health care and double insurance premiums for more than 20 million.

Our job is not to shutter community health centers, nursing homes and rural hospitals.

Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.

It's not easy to pull off that bold mix of rumpled sweaters, exhaustion, and the dusty darkness of a cluttered used bookstore.

Dolly Parton’s sister, Freida Parton, is asking for people to pray for her sister’s health.
Verified Facebook post by Freida Parton. The caption reads: “Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly. Many of you know she hasn’t been feeling her best lately. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been lead to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me. She’s strong, she’s loved, and with all the prayers being lifted for her, I know in my heart she’s going to be just fine. Godspeed, my sissy Dolly. We all love you! ❤️” Below the caption is a photo of Dolly Parton standing outdoors in front of lush green ivy, hands clasped in prayer, wearing a shiny silver outfit with lace-trimmed sleeves, her signature blonde hair styled in soft curls, looking upward serenely.

Wellness culture feeds directly into eugenics.

Eugenics feeds directly into fascism.

This is nothing new, and it’s why disabled people have been screaming for solidarity for years.

We saw this coming. We know it’s going to get worse.

Refuse to leave vulnerable people by the wayside.

Rodney Taylor still needs our help!

He’s still locked in an ICE camp.

He’s still going without his new prosthetic legs.

He’s still facing deportation to Liberia.

He’s still having necessary disability accommodations ignored.

Please keep sharing his story. Public pressure works!

Rodney has been in the country more than 40 years. He's in solitary confinement in Georgia, being denied disability accommodations and having his medical needs ignored. He must be released.

If you politely mute when you aren't talking, it doesn't even matter if someone is scream meowing in the background of your zoom
an orange cat is on the floor on a towel with all his paws curled up. He isn’t screaming. But if he was, this wouldn’t affect you if you mute when you aren’t talking
