Today’s Washington Post just published this. Does not reference PFS but exercise greatly benefits other traumatic diseases, so it definitely should apply to PFS.
(Briefly, I’ll add that I exercise one hour per day. As discussed in my other posts, I’ve 1000% recovered from worst-case scenario PFS except profound sleep dysfunction. Intense exercise significantly relieves that.)
Here are screenshots of most of article:
exercise increases endorphins that help the immune system too.
I have a family member that is s medical professional, has beaten cancer x2 and is a international cancer advocate that has told me that PFS symptoms are indeed similar damage to post chemo patients . The daily workout regime and strict diet ( keto) have been a life changer for me. I want to mention that swimming can and has stopped crashes for me.
Idk about you guys but exercising gives me somewhat of a crash. Fatigue becomes worse the days after and my leg muscles are chronically tight. I can exercise fine in the moment but it’s like my body can’t properly recover from the exercise
If I get hot from any activity I swell enormously worse and that night and next morning my head feels like it will explode…Splitting headaches.
I had to run 3 miles to break a sweat before pfs If I even tried that now i would probably have to go to the emergency room.
The first clue I had what became called PFS was complete exhaustion whenever I went to a gym to work out. Was not gaining muscle. Was gaining fat weight.
