In this week's episode, Haylie Pomroy is joined by Dr. Melanie Hoppers, a physician and medical practitioner at the Bateman Horne Center of Excellence. Together, they discuss the challenges surrounding post-exertional malaise (PEM), often misunderstood as mere fatigue.

Dr. Hoppers, specializing in post-infectious diseases, shares her insights and personal journey, explaining the significant impact of PEM on patients with conditions like myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and post-COVID syndrome (or long COVID).

Haylie and Dr. Hoppers also offer useful advice and support for dealing with PEM, bringing hope and help to people with chronic illnesses.

Dr. Melanie Hoppers is a practicing physician at the Bateman Horne Center of Excellence, specializing in internal medicine and pediatrics. She earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Union University in Jackson, TN, and her medical degree from the University of Tennessee College of Medicine. Dr. Hoppers completed a dual residency in Pediatrics and Internal Medicine, equipping her with extensive expertise in managing complex medical conditions, including ME/CFS and fibromyalgia. At the Bateman Horne Center, she contributes to both clinical care and research aimed at improving patient outcomes.
