Best PEM recovery tips?

[chilove]

Hey all,

I over did it this weekend on a long weekend trip to the beach and am having my first episode of PEM in a long time. I've been in remission for awhile but I'm feeling really poorly today after pushing myself to climb to the top of a lighthouse on a hot humid day in Florida this weekend and getting too much sun at the beach. My calves are in extreme pain and I'm feeling sore and inflammed all over plus feverish and head-achey.

I haven't experienced this in a long time. Ughh. It's humbling to be brought low again.

I'd appreciate tips on how to get over it as soon as possible. I already eat a very clean anti-inflammatory diet and am drinking a lot of water.

Thanks!

Audrey

I read the thread, - where do you buy straight Catalase from?
I've searched but all the supps come mixed with a bunch of other things I don't want or need (eg: folic acid)

I don't exercise at all and I still crash. Heat will do it; so will psychological stress/fight or flight reaction. Not sure if any of the recommended supplements would help. Any ideas?

I don't know. Maybe you can ask in that thread

1. Magnesium & Sleep
I'm always extra tense during a crash, and can't relax enough to get the sleep I need to recover.. Natural Calm is my favorite magnesium product

b. (Soft) Foam Roller exercise are excellent at relaxing muscles and nerves ... one of my fave, simple things to do at home... definitely get a SOFT roller... the hard ones are ridiculous

Thanks so much everyone! Thankfully I'm feeling a lot better. I took some baking soda and extra electrolytes and minerals and drank a lot of water.
