It's been 2 months since I was here so I wanted to update this ...
These are still doing the same thing for me as they were when I first started taking 2 of them at a time. My heart doesn't pound when I first lay down. I don't feel like blood is rushing into my head when I first lay down. And I don't feel the need to lay down as often ... However, I still feel better and can think more clearly if I lay down flat every few hours for an hour.
I still take 2 every few hours, up to 6 - 8 a day. And the 2 that I take first thing in the am are the most important. Evidently my body needs these right away when I wake up. A few bites of an orange and eating breakfast helps me in the am too though.
I think my stamina has improved on these too. I've had company off and on since November and managed to keep up with them better than I ever have. I still need to rest during the day but I see an improvement over how I felt just 6 months ago.
My PEM has lessened in severity too ... I used to be laid up on the couch like a total zombie for the first day and then on day 2 and 3 I was just too tired to do anything but fix quick meals and eat. Now the first day is just a day of mindlessly watching tv on the couch. And day 2 and 3 I feel energized off and on but get run down very quickly ... By day 4, I'm ready to go again ... Um, this is day 3 for me but I need to get moving anyways ...
