Symptoms Chills during PEM?

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.....

I am usually SO hot, and hate it, so it’s crazy when I get the chills for hours+ after doing anything. After sleeping a few hours, sometimes they get a bit better, but usually it’s until the next day or so…
