Post-exertional malaise (PEM) is a worsening of many ME/CFS symptoms as a result of physical or mental exertion. It is often referred to as "the marker" by patients, ME/CFS organizatons, clinicians and researchers that work in the ME/CFS field. PEM can last for days to weeks after the exertion.[1][2]

This landmark report published in 2015 by the United States Institute of Medicine report, which assessed all the evidence available, concluded:

"There is sufficient evidence that PEM is a primary feature that helps distinguish ME/CFS from other conditions"

Pages 84-86 of the report describe the evidence for post-exertional malaise in ME/CFS patients.[3]
