3rd of March 2023

It's not quite noon and I already overdid it. I woke up feeling like a human being. Daniel kindly brought me breakfast in bed. I checked my heart rate variability and all seemed fine, so I vacuumed the smallest room in our house. All I had to do was pick up our lightweight cordless vacuum, take it into the room, push it back and forth a few times, turn around, and repeat. And that is why my arms now feel like lead. I also had to go to a medical appointment, which felt like a few steps too many, and now I feel like I can't move.

My physical and mental energy are intertwined, which is why I actually had to use my phone to figure out 200 divided by 5 a few minutes ago. And it's also why this post is rambling. I just wanted to write in real time how 2 very minor activities have wiped me out. I thought I had a little energy today but I did not. It was Fool's Energy, similar to Fool's Gold. You might notice it and get excited about it, but it isn't real. That's life with M.E.
