I overdid yesterday so I'm crashed today and feeling sorry for myself. A question occurred to me on managing PEM and crashes that I 'd like to here people's opinion on.
Here's the thing. When I crash from physical exertion the symptoms don't set in for a few hours later and the worst usually doesn't come until the next day, in terms of cognitive problems. The day of, I often still feel (if not OK) at my baseline. So on the days when i know I have already done enough to crash myself, should I do just a bit more, knowing I'm going to be miserable the next few days anyway or should I try to do as little as possible once I know I have gone overbudget to try to minimize the oncoming train wreck?
How do you handle this?
