چکیده
A Graded Exercise Therapy (GET) - Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME)/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) Running Anomaly. Imagine you have been disabled with ME/CFS's cluster of symptoms for 19 years. Yet, this morning you just ran an easy 10K with no flare up of your exercise intolerance symptoms during the run or post-exertional malaise after the run. Then later in the day you go browsing for books and after 30 minutes or so your exercise intolerance and post-exertional malaise symptoms flare up. You experience a wave of exhaustion, achy muscles and additional cognitive fog, all of which carry into the next day. To me, this is a confusing anomaly that needs an explanation.
