Summary
A Reddit user said compression socks helped their bloodflow and energy, and that protein shakes helped stabilise them. They were on stimulant medication that kept their heart rate up, craved salty foods and drank too little water. They linked what they get when stressed and hot to a histamine response, clustering around their tattoos. No overall level of function or recovery was described.
