My Series ‘Blood Cells and Neurons’ investigates a symptom of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome). Post-Exertional Malaise or PEM as it is more familiarly called is the extreme exhaustion, pain and cognitive dysfunction found after physical exertion in M.E patients. The patients suffer an extremely slow return to baseline. The return could be as long as one day, weeks or months. It’s as if the blood cells become frigid, as if the body takes on a type of hibernation and the cellular function is unable to process in the normal way.
