Post-exertional malaise (PEM) is a feature of Chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, long COVID, Epstein-Barr and Herpes infections, and other conditions. PEM is characterized by malaise following effort and lasting more than 24 hours.
It is not the same as muscle recovery, but may share some features such as nutrient depletion, toxicity, and hormonal dysfunctions.

H Pylori live in Yeast-an Endosymbiotic relationship
This collection of articles provides a new understanding of infection. They demonstrate that smaller bacteria such as H Pylori and Staph can live inside larger cells such as yeasts. This symbiotic relationship provides for the tenant protection, nutrition and evasion from the immune system, which is called a “stealth” infection”. In addition, when yeasts such as Candida replicate, they can transmit these bacteria to their progeny, providing a mechanism for stealth replication and persistence. This phenomenon probably occurs with other infections, such as Herpes, which is often paired with Candida, though often stealth as well. Besides protection, there must be benefits for the two organisms (if they are indeed separate). How does the Candida benefit?
