A lot of exercise have a positive effect on your microbiome, especially when you have gut dysbiosis. And don't underestimate your resistance which increases a lot when you are exposed to the sun (vitamin d) and doing exercise and enjoying being outside (no stress, more calm). It is a good combination to keep viruses etc. in your body under control. Everything in your body is going up, your adrenals getting stronger etc etc.

Your triggers is what you need to find out.
It's personal but my biggest PEM triggers are toxins and pesticides. Toxins can come from mold, but also from algae. Algae are often overlooked, but do not underestimate the blue algae. The blue algae produces many toxins (also called cyno bacteria). Also, visit your crawling space under beneath your house, you can be surprised what's going on there.

That's a lot. Sounds like being careful with everything is the best course of action now. Hopefully you can find a sweet spot where you could stay healthy without too much stimulation and stay below risk threshold.

This sounds a lot like other remission stories I've read either spontaneous or they used something that worked. They get better for weeks and months, some for years but then typically there is some increased stress and or trauma or another infection and they relapse. We are under tremendous pressure to earn a living, get an education, a job, a family etc and also keeping up with the jones'. When it seems like the nasty condition has gone away, its very tempting to take it all on again and to keep pushing when symptoms come back. But, in most cases that seems to lead to falling back to a worse condition. Often, using what made the first recovery happen, no longer works
I think keeping on with pacing and not pushing yourself physically or mentally is very important to keep the remission going. The pressure to work and have a normal life is very strong and that is why lots of pw/cfs often relapse. OP may be able to get back to remission by stopping the stressful activity and doing careful pacing. At a minimum that will help avoid getting worse. Every case I heard about where they kept pushing, they always got worse.
