Why should you track exertion?

For many people exertion can have a significant impact on symptoms.

This is often called Post-Exertional Symptom Exacerbation, or PESE.

By tracking your exertion , you can understand how it influences your symptoms and learn to pace yourself.

At Visible, we track three types of exertion.

• Physical - This could be going for a walk, or climbing stairs.
• Cognitive - This could be working at a computer, or watching television.
• Stress - This could be an emotional conversation, or problem.
