You can't talk about Post-Exertional Malaise (PEM) without mentioning ME/CFS. The term PEM was created to describe the unique manifestation occurring in people with ME/CFS.

If you separate PEM from its history and origin, you perpetuate the stigma surrounding ME/CFS. We need visibility and spread of knowledge.

If you feel like shit right now, it’s because it’s trying.”
