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]
Worsening symptoms include chronic fatigue, flu-like symptoms, brain fog (cognitive dysfunction), unrefreshing sleep, chronic pain, orthostatic intolerance, neurally mediated hypotension, POTS and more. "As with the severity, the exertion needed to trigger PEM theories case-by-case. For some, it might kick in after a little bit of exercise on top of a day's regular activities. For others, is incredible as it may seem, it can just take a trip to the mailbox, a shower, or sitting upright for an hour." [3][4][5][6] Onset of PEM can be delayed 24-72 hours.[7]
A 2016 DePaul University study focused on deciphering if post-exertional malaise was a generalized, full-body fatigue and/or a muscle-specific fatigue. The results suggested that PEM is composed of two empirically different experiences, one for generalized fatigue and one for muscle-specific fatigue.[8]
2015 Institute of Medicine report[edit | edit source]
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.[9]
