Summary
They wrote in an ME/CFS forum that they began supplementing magnesium two weeks earlier and felt gradually worse. They had stopped tracking HRV and heart rate because it only made them more stressed, and instead judged their state by their breath, a jittery feeling in their belly and chest, and their mood. They used pacing only for work, saying they were not aware enough to walk slowly and take pauses.
