I really have no problems with physical exertion and can feel fine afterwards. I luckily am able to walk up to 4-5 miles daily and bike as well (not on the same day).
If I do anything that has to do with social interaction I am totally floored the next day. The example I have is that I went to an art festival the other day with my son and his wife. We walked around and looked at exhibits and had lunch.
I felt fine during the entire time and had a wonderful afternoon. When I walked in the door at home I totally crashed. I just went right to the couch and laid down for an hour before making dinner.
When I got into bed around nine I could feel my insides vibrating which always means I have overdone. I had the vibrations most of the night. Now today I feel very lethargic....drained...and no energy. I don't have fluish feelings at all. Just like half my life has drained out of my body.
Now if I went out and walked 4 or 5 miles I wouldn't have this reaction at all. In fact I have even run 5K's with no bad after effects.
So is this just a different form of PEM or does it have something to do with adrenal function? It seems to becoming worse as time goes on and I am becoming concerned that soon I will have to just say no to any invitations or just go ahead and know that I will suffer the following day....
I am not sure what this is as I know looking (shopping) and talking uses a lot of brain energy which seems to be what I am lacking...
