Summary
A Reddit user reported post-exertional malaise in January 2025. They said steroids helped prevent PEM but had only a minor effect during it, and they took modafinil to stay awake plus creatine, d-ribose, methylene blue and ibuprofen. They hoped to try a toradol shot and thought hydrocodone or tramadol would help, but gave no outcome or recovery.
