Does anyone else get really confused about why they crash or feel better on a certain day? I'll give an example:
Two days ago, I ate something that seemed to effect me negatively at dinner; I was shaking, fatigued, restless. I went to bed feeling horrible, wondering how I would even sleep or make it through the next day. I only got about 5 hours sleep and woke up in the same state, overcome by dread; I felt weak and inflamed. I lay there, panicking for an hour, then forced myself up. I took my hydrocortisone dose and had a small coffee and was surprised that I felt completely fine ... great even! I went to the store and got groceries (which is not 'overdoing when I feel okay) and had a productive day (by my standards), which means being able to watch Youtube, chat online etc. I went to bed feeling naturally tired, which is usually a good sign, and made sure I avoided any problematic or inflammatory foods.
My sleep was fine and woke up feeling okay-ish. I took my HC dose and had a small coffee and crashed instantly and I can't even figure out why. Maybe I overdid it yesterday? It's so strange though, because if I get enough sleep and stick to the correct foods, I should be semi-functional. It makes no sense.
