To date, I have been diagnosed with Sjogren's, POTS, and SFN. My worst symptom is an unrelenting and crushing flu-like fatigue that never goes away.
Following the recommendation of my rheumatologist, I have been practicing low-intensity swimming three times a week for two and a half months. Initially, this had no impact on my fatigue (neither positive nor negative). However, the day after my last swimming session (which was not especially intense), I experienced a sudden worsening in my fatigue that has lasted for a month now, forcing me to be in bed practically all day. Could this be an example of PEM?
