I have this thing in my ME history that every time that I start to decline (not a crash but a long term one) that it starts with intense physical panic. Out of the blue, not related to my personality, and unexpectedly.
That is usually followed by a period of aggressive resting, after which I have to accept a new baseline.
It can be a quick or long process.
Can anyone relate?
I was thinking it somehow also relates to the adrenaline surge concept that allows patients to run on adrenaline and then crash, but in a more extreme way.

One problem I have is that contrary to adrenaline surges, which are easy to identify (see the link) for me (it's when I use excitement to feel better but pay a little), these attacks are something that come out of the blue and I just can't foresee them. They are often related to physical changes in energy of my body that I cannot foresee.
Does this happen to anyone?
How does a more permanent decline show itself for you guys?
