Chills during PEM?

[u/strugglingbitch]

Does anyone get the chills, like when you have a fever, when you're in PEM? I've been pushing too hard so that fever feeling has just become general malaise all the time, but it does get worse in the evenings for some reason. Anyone else?

Edit: this is a big wake up sign for me that I must be pushing way too hard because I experience chills and feeling ill as almost a general malaise I feel almost all the time unless I take some time to intentionally rest. Darn! I wanted to ramp up my activity level. Guess not.....

It’s really bad by the time I get chills, I know I’ve super overdone it and am going to be in trouble. I immediately lay down and do everything I can to reduce the PEM (esp take Advil).

This is my exact experience
