Sounds coming from outside, especially voices, from apartment neighbors, from traffic (I have to have open windows due to heat) all seem to imply 'threat' and have to be almost actively interpreted by my brain. It impairs me cognitively and physically.
During PEM, sound is even more troublesome. So pacing for me, despite my very mild case, is a necessity. My PEM tends to last 8-10 days.
Pacing means telling myself to be careful and to remember how awful PEM feels.
It is questioning: am I doing too much? how clearly can I think? did I lie down and rest at least once, twice, during the day?
I tend to walk too long as I am able to take a walk outside for 20 minutes several times a week. I get hung up on the fitness thing and my leg muscles will fire upa ton of pain signals and cause PEM before I realize it.
(Hope my mildness doesn't cause offense or hurt to anyone.)
