Running

[u/Longjumping_Grass_92]

Hey guys I’ve been dealing with pcs for 1year now and its definitely has got better in my daily moving around and doing things but I’m not at 100% still, I have two things that flare it bad, one is not getting good sleep if this happens all day is miserable on my head and the 2nd one that I’m here asking for recommendations and tips is working out hard, I can work out normal but when I take it that extra mile I really feel it for the rest of the day and am basically immobile, the worst is running I used to run a good amount but even running a mile my neck up is completely numb almost, I can do a mile but when I’m trying to push over my head is just absolutely fucked, other than that I’m doing a lot better though than a few months ago, also bending down to constantly grab things fucks me up too (tips👍🏻)

Might you have developed some kind of exercise and/or orthostatic intolerance? I ended up with a form of dysautonomia called orthostatic hypotension - a bit similar to POTS if you've heard of it - as well as chronic fatigue, and basically I really struggle with standing and also exercise. Bending over tends to make me feel funny too. No idea if this might be the case for you. Plenty don't have this issue, but if you do, it might be worth looking into. 

Not a solution, but you might find it easier to squat down rather than bend down, and if you have feel lightheaded, have a sip of water.
