ME/CFS patients use CareClinic to meticulously track post-exertional malaise (PEM) events including triggers, crash duration, and recovery time, implement pacing routines with heart rate monitoring to stay within energy envelope, and document overlapping symptoms like unrefreshing sleep, orthostatic intolerance with blood pressure changes, and cognitive dysfunction. The ME/CFS symptom tracker helps surface objective trends in energy patterns and supports communication with providers who may be unfamiliar with the condition.
Log activity levels using spoon theory or percentage scales, track delayed PEM onset 24-72 hours after exertion, and monitor autonomic symptoms including temperature dysregulation and light sensitivity. Document responses to treatments like low-dose naltrexone, orthostatic training, or supplement protocols. Many patients report improved clarity in energy management and better crash prevention using the app’s pacing features. Learn more about ME/CFS management strategies and how detailed tracking validates the invisible disability experience.
