So. I shared a while ago my "recovery story". I certainly wasn't cured but I was living really close to a normal life. Including small trails in the nature, jumping into waterfalls, going to the beach, photographing etc. Exactly a year ago I did the "biggest test" which was carnival in Rio. it was 4 days of parties (no drinking) which was basically on the street and on my feet for hours. One day for arround 12 hours we did probably close to 40 km (not just walking but jumping and partying.). Of course I was a mess in the end, leg pain, exhausted, but so was everybody, I even endured more than most healthy people I know. I slept for more than 12 hours, and the other day I was mildly tired. We even went to last day of carnival (which was way
From this day I just kept improving even though my main symptoms remained: allodynia, fatigue, and widespread pain (hard to measure but I guess all had some improvement).
So... a week ago, on saturday, I did a 1 hour trip with my girlfriend to some waterfalls. I we did more exercising than I'm used to for sure, but not even remotelly close to the 12 hours day in Rio. Way way way easier. The other day I was kinda tired but normal. Monday I was really unconrtable and couldn't tell why, my pain was worse, I had a headache (which is pretty rare for me) and my allodynia was really sensitive. Than I started getting fatigue, and pain after mild exercises (which I wasn't getting before.).
It's the other saturday now and I feel like I'm having a small relapse. We had a trip planned in 15 days from now (carnival again, but in the nature now, some minor trails, walks, and cool waterfalls which would be really ok for me, but now I don't think I can endure, but worse, I think it can get me worse) which we're thinking about cancelling.
I had some minor relapses during this last 3 years of recovery but normally I could associate to something and now I can't. The only 2 things I can't think off is I'm doing a ketogenic diet (for arround 3-4 months now), even though I'm just in mild ketosis probably for to much protein. And I was taking 1 pill of neuroprotek and now I'm taking 2, (I was supposed to go up to 4). I really don't think any of them is to blame but then again I got a relapse from COQ10 withdrawl, which no one believed so ANY tips or insights would be apreciated.
Thanks!
