The fact that my symptoms are worse in the morning and improve in the evening and late at night remains a mystery.
My breathing gets better, I feel more relaxed, more zen as the day progresses. My brain fog reduces to a minimum.
It generally gets better after 5PM.
I had the same thing for a couple of years, would always wake up feeling quite terrible and it would get slightly better as the day progressed. Not saying this is what is necessarily going on here but it is fairly common in CFS sufferers, see for instance: DISCUSSION: Why do we feel better at night?. I read somewhere that it could be related to low aldosterone (and cortisol?) levels in the morning which causes low blood volume. As the day progresses and you get some food/fluids in you, blood volume increases and brain fog and other symptoms dissipate.
