Recovery (blue) After not feeling well for a while, I've had a good night's sleep and some rest. The adrenaline that was keeping me going is all gone and I'm suddenly exhausted, but calm. This is a good thing, but also dangerous. If I do not rest in a recovery state, I may feel much worse. |
Zombified (Orange) Last night (or two nights ago), I took nortryptiline, which is (among other things) a serotonin-reuptake inhibitor. I slept very well through the night and still feel groggy now. This will help me reset myself, but also makes me unable to function. If I stop to lie down, I will immediately feel tired. |
| Healthyish (Yellow) I'm feeling okay, although often there are some lingering things I'm ignoring. |
Malaise (Green) Nothing in particular feels wrong, but I don't feel like doing anything. If I probe myself further, I realize I have a bad headache and my eyes react poorly to light. I have difficulty concentrating. |
|
Overexertion (Black) I overexercised. I'm sleeping deeply, but unrestfully, with lots of dreams. I'm easily dehydrated, achy in all my muscles, especially the ones overexerted. I have extreme photophobia, dry-mouth, and susceptibility to virus. |
Sick (brown) I have a non-CFS illness (e.g. a cold) in addition to CFS. I'm sleeping extremely fitfully, with lots of dreams. I can fall alseep okay, but can't fall back asleep in the morning. |
|
Lack of sleep (Red) For some reason (e.g. lack of food, loudness, etc), I failed to get enough sleep the previous night. I'm feeling decent overall, but a little bit sluggish because of not sleeping. |
This page is a reference, so that I can unobtrusively tell you how I'm feeling, without having to go into too much detail, which I don't like to do when I'm not feeling well.
