Welcome @dt200r, You mentioned your symptoms were classic PEM. I did find some information that might be helpful while you wait for other members to respond.
"The pathognomonic symptom of ME/CFS is post-exertional malaise (PEM) or post-exertional symptom exacerbation."

Did your doctors mention PEM or ME/CFS?

Hi, and thanks!
The ME/CFS diagnosis doesn’t really fit because I am not really fatigued. The PEM is also linked to long covid, which landed me here, and I was surprised to see many similarities here wrt fasciculations and internal buzzing. My docs have nothing. The neuro says I don’t have ***. I also think FND is a fit, but so far nobody will provide that diagnosis. At the end of the day it is what it is, and I’ll figure out how to cope. The engineer in me wants to solve it, however. After way too much time on the web, I am convinced there is much we don’t know with many of these conditions. It is hard not to sound like a lunatic when discussing the symptoms (bad pun).
