Summary
Crane 57693 described post-exertional malaise triggered mainly by screen time, conversations and cognitive stress, with physical activity less of a problem. In difficult phases they touched a chestnut by their bed for temperature stimulation and could not listen to podcasts for long. They used Garmin Body Battery and HRV readings to judge how their body was coping. No onset, severity level or recovery was described.
