NICE Guideline > Flare-ups and relapse
Flare-ups and relapse
1.11.15 Agree with the person how to adjust their physical activity during a flare-up or relapse. This should include:
- providing access to review and support from a physiotherapist in an ME/CFS specialist team
- stabilising their symptoms by reducing physical activity to within their current energy limits
- only once symptoms stabilise and the person feels able to resume physical activity, establishing a new physical activity baseline.
1.11.16 Advise people with ME/CFS after a flare-up that the time it takes to return to the level of physical activity they had before varies from person to person.
