Hi,

I haven't come across anything that actually explains why we get the delayed fatigue (or if I have I have forgotten!). Can one of you wise ones explain it and is there anything to help (detox, rest, antihistamines, ????).

Thanks.

What do you mean by delayed fatigue?

Like when you do anything mentally or physically challenging and are ok_ish that day but beyond exhausted the next day. My llmd says this is common.

I think that's more than just an aspect of Lyme disease, it's just a body thing...things will always feel worse the next day.

Every college finals week I would pull all-nighters, running on pure fumes but the exhaustion never set in until it was over (this was before my lyme-like symptoms began, so I'm pretty sure I wasn't affected by anything and my roommate was the same way). When a person works out, they're always sore the NEXT day. I think maybe adrenal glands get depleted as a person pushes themselves and the effect doesn't show until later.
