i’ve been tracking my crashes for months now and i’ve noticed something weird - when i’m in a slow motion period, my brain fog is way worse. like, i’ll be going about my day, feeling kinda meh, and then suddenly i’m stuck in this foggy haze where everything takes forever. has anyone else experienced this? i’m talking about the kind of slow motion where you’re not even really aware of it until someone points it out, like a friend saying ‘hey, you’re really slow today’.
and then you’re like, oh yeah, i guess i am. i’ve been trying to figure out what triggers these slow motion periods, but it’s hard because they don’t always seem to follow a pattern. sometimes it’s after a big exertion, sometimes it’s just out of nowhere. i’ve been using a heart rate monitor to try and track my crashes, and i’ve found that when my resting heart rate is over 110 bpm, i usually crash within 3-4 days.
but the slow motion thing is different - it’s not just about the crash, it’s about the lead-up to it. does anyone have any ideas about what might be causing this? i’ve been logging my symptoms in careclinic, and i’ve noticed that the dose + check-in reminders have been really helpful in keeping me on track. but even with all the data, i’m still not sure what’s going on.
anyone have any insights?
