    Is PEM a crash? Is a crash PEM? Semantically distinct? Or distinct phenomena?

    Well maybe that’s the difference @Rosie as I have moderate/mild ME so have some ok days and can go out only in crash/flare up I spend most of my time in bed

    Is PEM a crash? Is a crash PEM? Semantically distinct? Or distinct phenomena?

    Agree. To me PEM is from “normal overexertion” a crash/flare up is longer lasting and much worse symptoms than usual.
