For the first time since falling ill many years ago, I think I made a connection between an event and feeling better.
The last months have been difficult and I was stuck at home most of the time, only going out to make errands once or twice a week. This week, after intense intellectual stimulation from having a meeting with a financial advisor (yeah, I am weird this way), I felt like I was alive again.
I was so wired I couldn’t sleep for 2 days but then at one point I litterally felt a release from adrenalin while trying to sleep and felt better the next day. The following 2 days I felt better than I have in months. Moral is up too.
I have no medical background obviously but what I feel happened is that too much adrenalin was produced at once and my body couldn’t manage it. Then the levels evened out, and the dose that was left was adequate to make me feel better. At least short term, it has only been 4 days since the rush.
Am I right in thinking this and if so, would taking some kind of epinephrine medication in small/moderate dosage help ? I’ve looked online but haven’t been successful in finding answers.
Thanks for your input !
(eta : after typing this I went downstairs and then realized this is a very bad day. All my symptoms are back full blast. I guess it would have to be a much smaller adrenalin dose to not trigger PEM.)
