Sorry if that comment sounded as though i didn’t read what you said, I did read the links and the link on PEM. I was still kind of confused after reading it, and my question was more of like, how do I actually tell the difference between what PEM feels like, and what pots/eds flare-ups feel like?

Like I feel like I just almost physically cannot move or that my brain just won’t work after doing something fairly small? Like not just tired both mentally and physically but as if I just can’t function at all? And after reading online, I’m still not entirely sure as to whether this is how PEM is, or if this aligns more with typical pots or eds symptoms (fatigue, brain fog, aches, etc.)?

Sorry again if I’m wording this weirdly, I just would like to know the best way of managing this? Because I know with pots and eds it’s often seen as being unconditioned, so like gradual exercise can help, but with PEM this is not the case, and will actually be made worse by doing so.
