You will def start to learn your body like the back of your hand. The only difference is when your about to faint and no warning sign before hand or as I would say not feeling anything on a scale of 1-10 I can always tell if it’s bad enough I’ll start having brain fog and can’t drive my body is fatigue and exhausted I am sore in my muscles or more so exhausted in my bones and muscles. I have flare ups and that starts like a viral infection my skin exposes reactions from mast cell disorder and then I start antibiotics. I feel my whole body is out of wack when it all flares up. After years of going through the cycles you will learn your body and what’s coming ahead before hand
