Hi all,
Long time reader / first time poster. 2 years into my CFS journey, working part time but not much of a life other than that.
Was wondering if anyone else gets an extreme exacerbation of symptoms (e.g. weakness/heaviness, lightheadedness, need to lie down, headache and sometimes even PEM) if you skip a meal / get hungry?
I've had to add in large mid morning and afternoon snacks (e.g. avocado, quinoa, sweet potato) and always have, say, nuts, on the ready to avoid these crashes. If i leave lunch any later than 130pm I'm screwed and much more likely to crash later that day.
Interested in whether anyone has had similar issues! Thanks
Nick
