came here again because this problem is happening again. It's definitely lactic acidosis for me: this happened after I typed for 7 hours straight -- quite a few days ago! -- and I still haven't recovered. It's not summer in this case; it's definitely overactivity-related.
But evidence still supported: I keep having hot flushes, and thinking I must have a fever. Maybe for someone with ME I do. My temp usually runs a little low. But regardless, the temp I am "feeling" does not correlate at all to what the thermometer keeps telling me. I think I resolved with baking soda and lots of CoQ10 last time?
Someone posted an equation the other day that made the lactic acid conversion seem so simple.
Glucose + O2 = 36 ATP (normal energy)
Glucose + (nothing/No O2) = Lactic Acid + 2 ATP (Lack of energy)
It's more complicated, but in some circumstances I wonder if it's the cellular inability to get enough O2, for whatever reason (sticky blood, etc etc)
