Post-exertional malaise

Post-exertional malaise (PEM) is one of the main symptoms of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).[1][2] PEM can be described as "a delayed and significant exacerbation of ME/CFS symptoms that always follows physical activity and often follows cognitive activity".[3]

PEM is considered a cardinal symptom by a number of the different diagnostic criteria for ME/CFS, including the International Consensus Criteria (ICC).[4][5][6] The Canadian Consensus Criteria (CCC) does not consider PEM compulsory, rather it requires "post exertional malaise and/or [post exertional] fatigue".[7][8] The National Academy of Medicine's (NAM) Systemic Exertion Intolerance Disease (SEID) criteria (also called IOM 2015 Diagnostic Criteria) requires PEM.[9][10][11] The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) use the SEID/IOM 2015 Diagnostic Criteria on its website's ME/CFS page and list PEM as a primary symptom.[10][12]
