My impression is that it's very common, from what I've read here, for people to feel the fatigue the next day, or even the second or third day, after exertion! It's certainly true for me.
Neuros don't know everything. Mine told me today that myasthenic fatigue is "muscle specific," and that if I tire one muscle, it won't affect another muscle. The evidence that he's wrong is not just anecdotal. I learned on this board (from Alice) about the Mary Walker phenomenon. And it's true. On Saturday I spent way too much time on my feet. On Sunday, my eye muscles were fatigued.

The most typical posting here about fatigue seems to be that one of us did something that pushed there limits and ending up paying for it later in the same day.
Last week I told my neuro that I pushed myself to the limits with 20 to minutes of exercise on my Total Gym. No standing with a Total Gym even though leg exercises are part of the workout. I told him that the rest of the day was not was not bad at all but the following day I suffered with very severe muscle fatigue.
He thought it was unusual that I did suffer that day.
Your conclusion that the effect of exercise may only be seen after a few hours or even days aligns at times with the effect of exercise or exertion has on me.
I am curious if anybody else here has noticed this because I can't remember, even though there may have been postings.
