(Might just be true for me)
- Anger gives me a lot of energy. On day 3 I get bad PEM.
- I'm so thirsty - wanting more water than I ever have. I wake up almost every night to get more water (and to pee). I sometimes think it's neurological and I don't actually need water. However if I ignore my thirst and don't get more water, I get headaches for 24 hours.
- It's difficult to get blood out of me - more if I feel thirsty - I drink so much water but I'm always too dehydrated to get blood out of me easily.
- Headaches are relieved by sleep - but only for a while - they can come back.
- Waking up early = instant sore throat. Normally relieved by more sleep.
- If I'm already at my limit and I keep pushing, that's when I'm most likely to get PEM that lasts for weeks.
- The 'not-trying' attitude enables me to rest effectively. Not-trying: whenever I feel my mind go blank, I stop trying to concentrate and rest instead.
- Dark chocolate is like a magic bullet for energy in the short-term.
- Too much sugar gives me headaches about an hour later.
- Magnesium has worked wonders for brain fog. (Very happy about this)
- Ran out of vit D for a few days and got worse - not sure if it is correlated.
- Echinatia may have made my asthma worse.
- Despite how hard I've been trying to shift it, my happy place in sleeping hours is currently 3am-12/1pm.
- Comedy film in the evening can make me feel better the next day relative to a horror/drama film.
- Sitting down for hours at the hairdresser gives me PEM for 2 days and an achey back and legs from the tension of having to sit like that.
- Tracking my symptoms for disability benefits makes me feel low. I don't like focusing on what I can't do.
