I've heard there is this thing called,"COVID Euphoria." I've never researched it. But, even when I only had CFS, there would be, for me, very rare cases when I would actually wake up feeling very good - "the best I've felt in years!" And that would end pretty soon, being replaced by the normal crash or relapse. Mind you, CFS has a main trait where one virtually awakens feeling exhausted, fatigued, foggy-headed if not migrained - usually worse than when hey went to bed - as if they never slept at all. And sufferers just return to the feeling of having been up all night, not sleeping for a year, cramming for some exam.
So, we normally begin the day exhausted, and so on. All systems stalled out. This is why I try to awaken as early as possible, and simply rest for hours and hours, until I can gain enough steam, to where I can feel the influence of my circadian kicking in. If its a good day, then I will be able to work on some project by 1-3:pm. Because of NANO-COVID, though, I have to leave early, and do the rest of my resting at the library or in my vehicle. If I force myself, or exert myself too often, ("going outside of one's 'energy envelope), the results are devastating. Constant vigilance, constant pacing.
But, again, there are those very rare good mornings. I think it has to do with sometimes experiencing the normal person's reward after exercising, or such, the day before - but actual CFS consequences haven't kicked in yet. And, because are endorphins/dopamine have been so desperate for so many months, then this feels like euphoria to us. Normal people's refreshment feels like heaven on earth to us.
Maybe this is the same deal with COVID Euphoria. Recall, I DID get my gut motility moving yesterday, a bad but forced day. Normally, my nano-COVID symptoms worsen considerably when CFS punishes me for earlier exertions. They conspire together. And so I never seem to shake the recurrent, "Long-COVID."
But, I am thinking that this new Xylitol supplement has been helpful, and may have, w/ last night's detox and lack of meal, helped push back both for a while, thus awakening feeling good for once - although I still have a very bad core migraine and some deep fatigue. I am not yet reminded that my mitochondria almost don't exist.
