Default Triggers and Fatigue

I'm 20 months post injury. I stopped working in February and finally thought I was getting to a good point this summer with balancing activity and rest. My stamina increased and I was able to do more throughout the day without getting too dizzy or exhausted.

Lately, the last month or two, I have been feeling more exhausted and get fatigued easier than this summer. I see a lot on here about avoiding triggers that make you have headaches or get too tired. I have not been able to find a pattern or triggers to my exhaustion and dizziness. Some days I can go for hours without rest and feel ok. Other days I can do about two hours of activitiy and the fatigue hits me like a ton of bricks.

Am I doing something wrong? How do I manage this if I can't figure out what or how much activity will make me exhausted? At 20 months, should I still be feeling such intense fatigue?

Thank you for any help you can give.
