Hi,
I'm starting this thread at someone's request cause I mentioned learning to hear, feel, and read your early warning signs--signs that you are about to exceed your limits. Maybe anyone who has figured theirs out, could post them here and we could learn from each other.
I thinking of warning signs for all sorts of activity--exercise, daily routines, mental exertion--you name it--anything that could tip you into payback.
For me, I get a certain feeling in my chest--a pressure, slight pain, a feeling that my energy is draining downwards. It means, "Don't even think of doing that next errand, washing the dishes, whatever." Stop and lie down.
I also get a constricted feeling in my head, that is hard to describe, when I have done too much mentally, had too much social interaction etc. For me it means that if I use my brain any more without resting, I'll have less of a brain the next day.
Then there is OI--orthostatic intolerance. On a good and rested day I don't even notice it. If I have done too much, my legs tell me to sit down, walk at a snail's pace, etc.
How about others?
