Some days I couldn’t walk across the room without pain and exhaustion. Then, miraculously, the next day I could walk down stairs and even wash dishes feeling energized and ‘normal’. Of course the next day, I struggled just to find the energy to sit up and eat. Then I would feel decent for two days. Then a crash. The negative cycle repeated over and over. It was beyond frustrating, it was infuriating. And I felt helpless and victimized. No one had any answers.
The intermittent energy felt by every patient who struggles with ME/CFS makes it a cruel disease. When I finally started taking control of my energy expenditures, I began the path to recovery. How do you keep your energy levels consistent? What are your strategies? Please COMMENT or Send in your thoughts and I’ll post them.
