It's been 8.5 -9.5 months since I first had issues. I've been holding steady the past 4-5 months. I'd say my main concerns were:
1: HR issues / still on beta blocker - minimal amount / 17.5mg metropolol ( 270 pound guy) but can't quite get off of metropolol as I'd not feel well / HR would spike.
2: Muscles run out of energy quicker than should be - one flight of stairs is hard, more than one more so!
3: Cold legs / dead legs ..... sometimes arms....
I drink more now ( not so good!), use less sleeping pills ( benadryl mostly). Also separated from wife now, - 1 month ago - which had minimal impact ( symptom wise, doing horribly though)
Recently had two shave biposy on face for growths, no results yet, and with my anxiety and worry on possibly skin cancer, my energy levels / recovery levels seemed to jump a level? Steps are much easier - energy recovery seems much better - not perfect - but better. 1 story of steps is much easier. Riding bike to work is much better ( pedal assist ebike, but still work). I really hope I stay at this level ( or better) as it feels like I am 80-90% where I used to be. Not quite ready to run full court baskeball...but as close as I've been in past 9 months...
I guess in the end whatever I was going through is not CFS, - or just very mild. I've never really had any sort of PEM. When moving after separation I think I did 40K+ steps in 2 days and walked 60+ flights of steps, felt it muscle wise, but no where else. And I've improved since then. I've never had any brain fog or related issues, some mental oddities, but never in relation to physical or mental activities.
We'll see where I end up - but thanks for all feedback. I wish everyone the best, I'm sure I will still be here reading stuff.
