I wonder if it is common for the runny nose/snot/wet cough symptoms to correlate with the severity of the PEM episode. That would certainly be the case for me—though perhaps it is only a distinction I can make being mild and lucky enough to have had some PEM episodes that were milder than an average cold.
The times I’ve gotten the upper respiratory symptoms, I also felt absolutely steamrolled by PEM even moreso than usual.
Question for others—if you only sometimes experience these upper respiratory symptoms, does it tend to occur when the other symptoms of PEM are also relatively worse?
Yes it tends to occur when my PEM is worse
