Hello
I just did my VO2Max/AT test two days ago and I'm still deep deep in my PEM.
The swollen gland and killer one sided sinus pain with nausea (I wonder sometimes if thats an atypical migraine) hit quickly then 24 hours later the rest of it started.... my heart rate hasn't stabilised yet (and normally mine is really good because a small dose of propanolol works so well for me) . Normal activities of daily living (like a single flight of stairs) are sending it racing/ attacks of mild breathlessness or air hunger. Also getting random lactic acid feelings particularly in my arms (in response to picking up a shopping bag).
Of course now I'm feeling really stupid and wondering why I didn't insist we stop once I hit AT. Stupid stupid stupid. In my defence I was somewhat distracted because we were having a lot of quite big earthquakes that day.Not while I was actually on the treadmill I'm glad to say.
My AT was pretty normal (lucky me) which explains perhaps why I can function a few hours a day with my POTs under control and if I only do sedentary activities (not too many stairs, walk slowly on the level and avoid any steep streets). I'll post again once I'm through the PEM and start HR monitoring in case anyone is interested.
OTH
