Hi Catherine,
I am also new to LC. I was diagnosed 2 months ago. I seem to crash when I am
Having issues with anxiety/ stress. I know how frustrating it is to be in your situation. Honestly, I think the best thing you can do is rest a lot. I crashed today and I am resting for 30 minutes 3-4 times a day, drinking water with electrolytes, and avoid doing activities that can raise my heart rate over 100. I am suggesting to hold off on exercise until your PEM symptoms go away. When you decide you’re ready to exercise, go easy. I use a pacing monitor called Visible. It keeps you from over exerting yourself, but I feel like you really need to go with your gut. Feel fatigue, take it easy and don’t push through it. Rest. I am not as knowledgeable as most of us here. This is just
what works for me. I hope you feel better soon.
