I can’t let myself get excited—the excitement for me can cause PEM just as easily as too much physical effort.

Yes, and mental activity can also cause PEM. 🙁

This happened to me yesterday so it’s helpful to read your reply. I was talking with my family including grandkids as they were en route to an amusement. I was animated during the call and suffered for hours afterwards. Thank you for sharing your experience.
