Factors Influencing Recovery Speed

Pacing (Relative Rest)

• Staying within a manageable energy range can reduce crashes. • Gradual recovery often works better than forcing activity too early.

Consistent Recovery Routine

• Sleep, food, and treatment consistency often matter more than intensity. • A stable rhythm usually supports steadier progress.

Boom and Bust Cycles

• Overdoing it on a good day can lead to a bigger setback afterward. • Recovery often stalls when energy use is too uneven.

ental Over-Exertion

• Long periods of stress, screen time, or emotional overload can worsen fatigue. • Cognitive strain can feel as draining as physical effort.

How do we estimate outcomes?

We combine insights from published research, our own experience and that of our peers, along with typical treatment timelines and conservative modelling assumptions, to map out common trajectories. The ranges presented reflect our experience only.
