If I’m doing worse in the morning but better at night, am i doing better or worse?

In new to illness so maby this is normal? Getting better would mean leas bad stuff right? Maybe its just all the carbs ive been eating.

i feel like its almost certainly worse but very confusint.

Normal cfs pattern.
Its circadian. Lots of threads about better without sleep.
Keep carbs low. We don't burn sugar right. Turns lactic.

@gregh286 i feel terrible
Without carbs i think. Its confusing. Like i can di way more with when i eat a bunchnof cereal.

Yes I know that. I take my sugar in fruit form.
Doesn't spike HR.
For some bizarre reason its get broken down different. Can't explain . Can eat any amount. Like even a full pineapple has 70g of fructose. Can handle.it easy peesy.

But processed sugar is a fckin nuclear attack. Desserts...chocolate wil spike my HR.

If you going to eat carbs eat it very little and often.

Im not sure inhave this issue. I dont have heart rate with carbs. Maybe i did minorly first week. Bo i dont think sonat all.

Hi .
Maybe you didn't eat enough . Something like a Xmas diner would do it.
If you eat small portions maybe your body ok with it.

That could be it too.

That chimes with me too actually, and I'm also a little new to this so I wasn't sure if it was PEM or something else. I'm on a keto diet at the moment so can vouch that carbs isn't the issue.
I feel like the morning crash might from stressful dreams - is this common in cfs or am I on the wrong track?

Also get issues with dreams sometimes. Even normal ones.
