Post-Exertional Malaise and Fatigue

Does minimal activity result in muscular weakness and cognitive exhaustion? Does it take days/weeks to recover? This is the place to discuss post-exertional malaise (PEM), post-exertional symptom exacerbation (PESE), and other types of crashes. This is also the place to discuss the bone-crushing abnormal exhaustion that can occur outside of crashes.
