Exercise advice for long covid may be doing more harm than good Exercise has been touted as a tool for managing and treating long covid, but much of the evidence has neglected one of its most debilitating symptoms: post-exertional malaise [url...

Pathophysiological mechanisms of post-exertional malaise: an integrative analysis based on the metabolism-immune-neuro interaction model Abstract Post-exertional malaise (PEM) is a common core symptom in various chronic debilitating conditions, such as Post COVID-19 Condition (PCC, also known...

I am curious how many people have experienced the phenomenon of being asymptomatic at baseline but still experiencing episodic PEM -- and when I say asymptomatic at baseline, that would include ability to do activities of daily living without rapidly fatiguing/bringing on symptoms - if you only...

Abstract: Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a chronic illness with post-exertional malaise (PEM) as a key symptom. This study categorized participants with ME/CFS who met PEM criteria into four groups based on severity of physical and mental PEM: severe physical PEM...

Highlights • Plasma profiling of 7,288 proteins during post-exertional malaise in ME/CFS. • ME/CFS participants show sustained immune, metabolic, and neuromuscular dysregulation during post-exercise recovery. • Exertion disrupts T and B cell signaling, IL-17 pathways, and mitochondrial...

I am experiencing something new and I'm not sure how to interpret it. Recently, I stopped most of my anti depressants, and my head started to feel clearer in a subtle way. I actually started to improve. Last week I was feeling so well, that I almost started hoping that the extreme fatigue had...

Post-Exertional Symptom Exacerbation after Sub-Maximal Exercise in Individuals with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID-19 Berardi, Giovanni; Janowski, Adam; McNally, Samuel; Post, Andrew; Garg, Alpana; Sluka, Kathleen A. [Line breaks added]...

I think it would help PwME if we had a short questionnaire that does a good job of identifying postexertional malaise (PEM), the cardinal symptom of this illness. It could be useful in two ways: 1. Doctors, especially those in primary care, could use it to help diagnose people who have ME/CFS...

A brief, comprehensive measure of post-exertional malaise, Jason and Chee https://www.explorationpub.com/Journals/ent/Article/1004116 Abstract Aim: Post-exertional malaise (PEM) has been a challenging construct to measure, particularly with self-report instruments, which have the benefits of...

New CPET Guidelines: What They Mean for People with ME/CFS The American College of Sports Medicine’s Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription, for the first time, includes a section on ME/CFS. ACSM is a leading authority on exercise science, and these guidelines serve as a foundational...

I thought it would be helpful to post a link to the DePaul University web page with their symptom questionnaires: https://csh.depaul.edu/about/centers-and-institutes/ccr/myalgic-encephalomyelitis-cfs/Pages/measures.aspx

I am currently going through a pretty bad PEM episode (it's actually the first time I realise I have PEM; I used to call it 'a setback'). One of the symptoms is insomnia/sleep disturbances (trouble falling asleep and staying asleep). It makes sense to me that better quality sleep would support...

Abstract Post-exertional malaise (PEM) is a defining symptom of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), yet its molecular underpinnings remain elusive. This study investigated the temporal–longitudinal DNA methylation changes associated with PEM using a structured two-day...

I've never heard of this, but a quick forum search on 'fever PEM' brought up this from last Thursday (my bolding): That's a really big surprise to me. Worth a thread of its own or a poll?

PEM is generally the main cause of disability in ME/CFS and it is typically delayed with respect to the activity that triggered it. It seems possible that PEM is closely related to maintenance and restorative processes that occur in the body. More activity during the day would lead to more...
