I wake up w spoons (call them “gross spoons”). Often I also have #PEM pain that reduces my gross spoons, leaving me w “net spoons”

I eliminate/minimize physical/emotional exertion, steps, time sitting up, stress, no chores, no shower, etc

But I still have some mental spoons. Is there an algorithm to estimate “net spoons”?

gross spoons - pain

gross spoons - pain²

gross spoons / pain

gross spoons / pain²

pain√gross spoons
