The ME/CFS Crash Survival Guide is designed for the patient, their support network, and care team to:
  • Understand ME/CFS and its defining characteristic of post-exertional malaise (PEM).
  • Help the individual prepare in advance for a crash/PEM episode, ensuring their critical needs are met.
  • Offer adaptive guidance in carrying out everyday living activities that support energy conservation with ME/CFS.


They also provide helpful supplies to accompany a crash:
