Go Low, Go Slow …

The above motto is the only thing I’ve retained from the exercise program I invested in September 2022. It was a disaster.

Graded exerecise is one of the worst things I could’ve done for my ME/CFS. In my defence, I was under the impression I’d fully recovered.

So. The motto. I apply it to every kind of new thing I need to adapt to, and this week that is LDN (Low Dose Naltrexone)

Last week’s dose of 0.1 mg per day went down very well. I had a great week, suddenly with a lot more energy every day!

Which felt amazing! I haven’t that kind of energy for years! And so much less pain. That means a dive down of inflammation.

These have to be taken at night. And their so-called half life is 4-6 hours. Meaning most of their strength is gone by morning.

This week I’m taking 0.2 mgs a day, at night. First 2 days I had a fatigue slump at 11 AM that lasted till about 2PM. Third day the slump started esrlier. Today, I slumped at 10 PM and am still in it at 6.45 PM.

Tonight I’m going back to 0.1 mg … going low and going slow. We’ll see what happens
