If you've ever felt like you're stuck in wet cement — like your body is heavy, sticky, and moving in slow motion — you're not alone. This strange and uncomfortable sensation is something many people with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) or long COVID experience, especially after a crash or flare-up.

In this video, we’re breaking down:

What the “wet cement” symptom actually is (01:12)

Why it shows up after overexertion or crashes (02:11)

How it’s tied to a hypersensitive nervous system (03:34)

What makes it worse — and how to respond when it happens (05:51)

The emotional and mental toll of this symptom — and how to take back control (06:48)

We’ve seen this symptom come up over and over again in the recovery community. The good news? It’s temporary. It fades as you build nervous system resilience, and it’s a clear signal to adjust your pace.
