What is PEM and how do we avoid it?

What is post-exertional malaise (PEM) and how can we avoid it?
Dr Lynette Hodges has expertise in this topic as she is involved in research into exercise and post-exertional malaise in ME/CFS (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis /Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) at the School of Sport, Exercise and Nutrition, at Massey University, NZ.
This presentation for World ME Day discusses:
• A definition of post-exertional malaise
• Symptoms of PEM
• Onset and Duration of PEM
• The use of physiological models in research
• What can be done to avoid PEM?
• The improvements when we stay within our energy envelope.

Thank you for providing this video. Its information is very important, particularly regarding the wide range of times possible between exertion and PEM, and the wide range of times possible that PEM will last. It's this feature which makes patients look crazy to uninformed medical professionals and even to ourselves. I describe it as ME/CFS gaslighting us.
