Chronic Fatigue and Post-Infectious Syndromes

This page serves as a centralized resource hub for patients navigating Long COVID, ME/CFS, dysautonomia/POTS, chronic fatigue, post-viral illness, chronic pain, and related complex chronic health conditions.

​

Over time, I found myself repeatedly sending the same pacing resources, symptom tracking apps, educational organizations, specialist referrals, handouts, and support tools to patients. Rather than keeping everything scattered across bookmarks, PDFs, portal messages, and after visit summaries, I wanted to create a more organized and accessible resource library.

​

This site is not intended to replace medical care or individualized recommendations. Instead, it is designed to help patients better understand their symptoms, explore reputable educational resources, prepare for appointments, and access practical tools that may support daily functioning and quality of life.

​

Many patients with chronic illness experience significant frustration, dismissal, confusion, and information overload. My goal is to create a space that feels practical, validating, and genuinely useful.

About crashes, energy envelopes, pacing, and activity management.

Work accommodations, mobility aids, disability validation, questionnaires, and documentation.

Orthostatic intolerance, tachycardia, compression, salt/fluid strategies, and autonomic tools.

Symptom tracking, heart rate monitoring, HRV, wearable devices, and other pacing tools.

Sleep optimization resources, CBT-I, sleep apnea, and restorative rest strategies.

Fibromyalgia, hypermobility, chronic pain, migraine overlap, somatic approaches, and nervous system regulation.

IMPORTANT NOTE

The information and resources on this website are intended for educational purposes only and should not replace individualized medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Healthcare is highly personal, and recommendations that are appropriate for one person may not be appropriate for another.

​

This site is designed to help patients better understand medical conditions, explore evidence-informed resources, prepare for healthcare visits, and access practical tools and support. Inclusion of a resource, product, supplement, organization, or treatment approach does not necessarily represent endorsement or guarantee of effectiveness.

If you are experiencing a medical emergency, please seek urgent or emergency medical care.
