The #MEAction Pacing Guide discusses pacing, a self-management strategy for activity useful in diseases like ME/CFS and Long COVID, where post-exertional malaise (PEM) is a feature. The Pacing and Management Guide also discusses PEM, ‘radical rest’, and gives examples of how to adapt vital activities, including breaking longer activities into smaller, more manageable tasks.

Pediatric Pacing and Management Guide
Developed in conjunction with Long COVID Families, the Pediatric Pacing Guide is oriented toward caregivers of kids and teens. It discusses pacing, a management strategy for activity useful in diseases like Long COVID and ME/CFS, where post-exertional malaise (PEM) is a feature. The Pacing and Management Guide also discusses PEM, ‘radical rest’, activity and symptom diaries, and gives examples of how to adapt vital activities, including breaking longer activities into smaller, more manageable tasks. Finally, it offers some suggestions for school accommodations.
