IMO, and I'm not medically qualified, at all, what you're experiencing in the first part of your post doesn't sound like PEM, at least as I experience it. It's ringing bells with me, it sounds a lot like a typical overload reaction during a virus, but obviously not being medically qualified or even a virologist.......
There seems to be a terminology discrepancy going on as well.
The "Yesterday" section of your post sounds like a mental fatigue reaction to me, it's very common and not specific to M.E. as far as I am aware. Quite why it diminished bodily symptoms is probably outside of my recent experience, and whilst I can see it appears to be important to you I'd rather not try and draw parallels or extrapolate from my own experience when my own memory for such things is a teeny bit iffy, and I'm sailing too close to line of the "no medical advice" rule, and probably others, as it is.
TBH it sounds a lot, to me, non medically qualified me, as if you may still have an active virus of some sort, or possibly have PVFS. That could easily explain the electrical overload symptoms (tingling etc.) and the sensory overload symptoms (noise/light sensitivity/fog).
My advice for either virus, PVFS or M.E. is the same as for virtually any illness, rest until recovered, if something makes you feel worse, stop doing it.
