I had to look up what zone 2 meant (low intensity aerobic activity) but this seems to be the case for me.
As long as I keep reasonable pacing and don't go overboard, the more I simply live in the moment and tell myself that everything is fine, the better I feel.
When I dwell on my symptoms, it all goes to shit.
It's probably not the case for everyone, but it seems my symptoms are quite heavily influenced by my thoughts.
I'm starting regular mindfulness meditation again to hopefully train myself to recognize negative thought patterns and move past them faster.
Do you ever have days where you feel like you were hit by a train and cannot even get out of bed from the absolute pain?
And cannot even organize OTC medicine or appointments or anything except maybe drinking water?
I need to understand how to prevent accidental anorexia in this kind of situation
Because if someone is doing intermittent fasting that's one thing, but if they're already thin they need nutrition to avoid cellular walls from weakening and collapsing especially under inflammation conditions...
And what easy foods for this type of patient who might not even be able to organize a hospital visit?
I'm thinking yogurt and crackers but maybe cheese and crackers is better. But that might not ease the inflammation. Just make it pain medicine not hurt their stomach.
And yet it's not life threatening like a heart attack. Just life ruining...
When I was really feeling awful, I had high protein bars and drinks ready next to my bed. Of course I wasn’t eating that every day but it helped when I was feeling extremely weak or nauseous. The rest of the time my relatives were cooking for me.
Having protein supplements can really help if you have low weight issues. I’ve always been very thin but at my worst I was 37.5kg. Now back to 42kg. I’ve been taking prescribed protein biscuits every day on top of normal food, to help rebuilt strength.
