Another interesting observation: during a PEM day, my stress level went down after a good meal. This is something that I've seen many times before...
The observation agrees with my pacing strategy that aims to arrive at the end of the day feeling like I have some spare energy (instead of being...
It's an interesting toy and PEM is visible in the data it collects. It tracks steps per day (imprecisely), heart rate, stress level, body battery,...
It seems to be just another dubious pet theory that is stuck to when it should have been abandoned long ago. For private practitioners, these...

The "predictive coding" idea does not seem to align with how my fatigue behaves. One of the most bizarre aspects of my illness is the disconnect...

It's nauseating how these people claim to have the desire to help people with (what they see as) mental disorders and yet act with disrespect...
