Discussion: I have been a Fibromyalgia patient for 13 years. Why does a heavy meal worsen my symptoms and makes me fatigued?

A heavy meal is usually one that is too rich in animal protein. It causes the digestive system to become very acidic, multiplying pathogens in the tract and immediately increasing the body's inflammatory response! The fatigue of fibromyalgia patients (unrelated to physical exertion) is metabolic.

In practice, a distinction can be made between four types of fatigue:
1 Muscle fatigue - (Muscles) Often due to the muscles' exertion (not necessarily aerobic). Such as holding a child in your arms and standing still. Muscle fatigue is a result of lactic acid formation. Usually, within a few minutes, the pain will go away.

2 Aerobic fatigue (Heart and Lungs) Fatigue results from physical exertion, sports activities, climbing stairs, carrying loads, etc. It is often associated with a high heart rate, rapid breathing, muscle aches, and sweating. Aerobic exertion activates the heart and lungs, increasing the pulse and respiration rate. Sweating is a mechanism designed to cool the body.

3 Metabolic fatigue - (Liver, kidney, Immune system) Is often due to a heavy meal or chronic inflammatory diseases. The manifestation of metabolic fatigue is a desire to take a nap. Metabolic fatigue is fatigue of the liver and kidneys that work very hard, usually after large meals. The liver is the most energetic organ in the human body! The need for drowsiness reflects the direct connection between the liver and the eyes. (According to Chinese medicine) A weak immune system accompanied by prolonged inflammations can impair alertness, memory, and mood.

4 Spiritual and mental fatigue (Brain and Subconscious) occurs usually after unpleasant or traumatic events. Mental fatigue manifests as low mood, a tendency to outbursts, closure, and social distance.
The brain is energetic, and unpleasant and traumatic events are often stored subconsciously (as part of the mind's defense mechanism). These processes impair mood and the body's general energy level.
