Ok, so you all inspired me to google "graded exercise therapy" using picture search. This is what I found (no joke). Enjoy:
This picture is used on an article called "How Can I Start a Graded Exercise Program for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?"
Glad that this is only the start of a GET program, doesn't look too challenging. Do we get these trousers at the local fatigue clinic
This reminds of a phone call I received from a patient a couple of days ago.
He said he had ME and was attending the local ME clinic.
I asked him about his experiences there.
He said that he was told that the best treatment was .........graded exercise therapy. He was given a book on how to do it and why it cures/improves ME.





He said he finds it difficult.
I thought I knew why.
I was wrong though.
The reason he finds it difficult is because .................he is a builder who is renovating property he buys before he sells it on.
He finds it trying to squeeze in the GET between knocking down walls, fitting in bathrooms and new kitchens.

According to the fatigue clinic .............the one of Muppet fame

..............this level of activity passes for ME
