I&amp;#x27;ll have to assume Omnicron although I have no actual data on that.

It&amp;#x27;s been downhill since then.</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>stevenicr</author><text>Something that helped me alot...&lt;p&gt;I wrote the date and times of activities that drained me - and the recovery time of rest before I felt average.&lt;p&gt;This included phone conversations, which I found had about a 14 minute limit.&lt;p&gt;It was helpful in communicating with other health professionals a little, but immensely helpful in seeing a couple weeks go by and my activities got longer &amp;#x2F; further, and the recovery time got shorter.&lt;p&gt;This also helped with the feelings of dread and worry when in the middle of something, I felt complete exhaustion - knowing I could look at a clock and count on 2 minutes to go by and I would be mostly normal again.. 
Things like that had a huge impact for me.&lt;p&gt;After some months, looking back on where things were, I feel that I am doing okay, and better than I was, even if I am not where I&amp;#x27;d like to be.</text></comment>

I&amp;#x27;m asthmatic so even my normal isn&amp;#x27;t that great. Was having to do nebulizer treatments basically every day for months.</text></comment>
