Some patients find wearable heart rate monitors useful for avoiding overexertion (defined here as exceeding a heart rate that corresponds to the anaerobic threshold). Remaining as active as possible while avoiding overexertion is called pacing. People with ME/CFS often do better when they learn to adapt their lifestyles to live within their capabilities, and slow down or spread out their activities so that they can avoid a cycle of over-activity on a given day followed by a 'crash' the following day. There is evidence that restriction of certain carbohydrates called FODMAPs can have a beneficial effect on these symptoms. ME/CFS can be associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and gastrointestinal symptoms. One of the simplest treatments for orthostatic intollerance is increasing salt intake, especially in warm weather. An explanation of orthostatic intollerance and available treatments by Peter Rowe, MD. ME/CFS can be associated with orthostatic intollerance, which is an umbrella term for several conditions in which symptoms are made worse by upright posture and improve with recumbency. People with ME/CFS may be at risk of vitamin D deficiency due to light sensitivity and little time spent outdoors, which can cause additional symptoms. In general, any change to medication should be made one medication at a time. People with ME/CFS tend to be sensitive to medications and may only require 1/2 to 1/4 of the recommended dose. There are no treatments that are proven to be effective for ME/CFS, but individual symptoms such as sleep problems may be treatable.
