    Best quote from Chronische Erschöpfung: Pacing bei ME/CFS und Post-COVID

    “

    Wenn du chronisch erschöpft bist, ist dein innerer Akku nicht einfach nur leer – er ist beschädigt. Er lässt sich nicht mehr voll aufladen und entlädt sich viel schneller als bei gesunden Menschen.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Normale Müdigkeit verschwindet meist nach einer Mütze voll Schlaf oder einem entspannten Wochenende. Bei chronischer Erschöpfung, wie sie oft im Rahmen von ME/CFS oder dem Post-COVID-Syndrom auftritt, ist das anders: Die Fatigue greift tief in die Knochen und lässt sich durch bloße Ruhe nicht beheben. Betroffene fühlen sich oft schon nach dem Aufwachen wie nach einem Marathon, wobei selbst kleinste Alltagsaufgaben wie Kaffeekochen zur unüberwindbaren Hürde werden.

    Die Post-Exertionelle Malaise, kurz PEM, ist ein zentraler Mechanismus der Belastungsintoleranz bei Erkrankungen wie ME/CFS oder PAIS. Dabei führen bereits geringfügige körperliche oder geistige Anstrengungen, wie etwa das Einräumen der Spülmaschine, zu einer massiven Verschlechterung des Zustands. Es ist eine radikale Realität, in der herkömmliche Ratschläge wie „einfach mal zusammenreißen“ oder Sport nicht nur wirkungslos sind, sondern die Symptome sogar gefährlich verschlimmern können.

    Pacing ist eine essenzielle Strategie, um aus der Falle der chronischen Erschöpfung auszubrechen und gefährliche Crashs durch PEM zu vermeiden. Da diese Erschöpfungszustände oft eine organische Basis haben, müssen Betroffene lernen, ihre Belastungsgrenzen strikt zu respektieren. Anstatt sich durch Sport oder Willenskraft zu überfordern, hilft Pacing dabei, die vorhandene Energie so einzuteilen, dass der Körper nicht über seine Belastungsgrenze hinaus beansprucht wird.
