What are your 3 worst symptoms?

I think you are experiencing PEM - post exertional malaise/exercise intolerance. You can learn a lot about the condition at the free YouTube channel of the Bateman Horne Center.
Another place to visit on YouTube is the (again) free site of Gez Medinger. He is one of us and his site is a gold mine of information. He posts frequently.
My best,
Pam

Yes, you are correct, it is symptomatic of PEM. There are several good “experts” on the subject. I have read and studied. Most agree that the problem is at the mitochondria level.
Basically with PEM, my quality of life depends on my ability to manage my activities as related to fatigue. The problem is my body doesn’t always provide good feedback. However, I have fewer and fewer episodes of being wiped for days at a time.
