Post-Exertional Malaise - a discussion including defining and measuring PEM
Well, there is the RER measure, which is taken to be a measure of effort. So, if it is the same, around 1.1, then I don't believe it is possible to dismiss the finding as just being the result of less effort. Yes, I don't think enough attention is paid to normalising energy expenditure prior...- Hutan

Later that night, I had a period of PEM for some hours - crushing pain, feeling ill, chills, glands...- Hutan

Post-Exertional Malaise - a discussion including defining and measuring PEM
Heading off topic, but just because Workwell say something, doesn't necessarily make it true. The 2xCPET does seem to show an abnormal reaction to exercise in ME/CFS. A reduced workrate at Anaerobic Threshold on the second test isn't what I and most people call PEM though. That reduced...- Hutan
