Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) Tracker
Track your chronic fatigue syndrome (me/cfs) symptoms, identify personal triggers, and gain AI-powered insights to better manage your condition.
Understanding Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, also called ME/CFS (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), isn't just being tired. It's a debilitating condition where even light activity can leave you bedbound for days. You wake up exhausted, push through basic tasks, and crash hard - sometimes for weeks. Sound familiar?
Doctors often dismiss it as stress or depression, but you know something deeper is wrong. The thing is, ME/CFS affects everyone differently. Some people can't tolerate any light or sound, others crash after walking to the mailbox, and many cycle between slightly functional days and complete crashes. That's why tracking your personal patterns becomes so crucial - what triggers your crashes might be completely different from someone else's.
Common Symptoms to Track
ME/CFS symptoms can vary dramatically day to day, which makes tracking their severity really important for spotting patterns:
- Post-exertional malaise (PEM) - feeling worse after any activity, sometimes delayed by 24-48 hours
- Unrefreshing sleep - waking up as tired as when you went to bed
- Brain fog - difficulty concentrating, remembering words, or processing information
- Orthostatic intolerance - dizziness, rapid heart rate when standing
- Muscle and joint pain - often moving around the body
- Headaches - often severe and different from previous headaches
- Sore throat and swollen lymph nodes - especially during flares
- Temperature regulation issues - feeling hot/cold inappropriately
- Sensory sensitivities - light, sound, touch, or smell sensitivity
How to Track Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)
Here's what a lot of people with ME/CFS find helpful to track:
Energy levels are crucial - rate your energy 1-10 each morning and evening. You'll start seeing patterns around crashes and recovery periods. Also track your activity levels - even "small" activities like showering or grocery shopping can trigger PEM.
Sleep quality matters more than sleep duration with ME/CFS. Note how refreshed you feel, not just how many hours you slept. And here's something many people miss - track your orthostatic symptoms. Stand up and note any dizziness, heart racing, or weakness. You can even do quick orthostatic tests to track changes over time.
Stress levels often correlate with symptom flares, so logging daily stress helps identify triggers you might not notice otherwise. Don't forget to track any supplements you're trying - B12, CoQ10, magnesium - and their timing relative to energy changes.
Mouth To Gut makes it easy to log all of this in one place - and the AI finds patterns you'd never spot on your own. Like noticing your crashes happen 72% of the time after specific activity combinations, or that your energy improves when you take certain supplements at specific times.
