© 2013 TSM Recently I’ve heard from several people who have been struggling with ME/CFS for many years. Their ME/CFS situation is frustrating and they are not getting better. Status quo – no change. Nothing is more challenging – physically or mentally – than not making progress.
The adage about insanity comes to mind. Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome. ME/CFS creates a cruel trap where you can get stuck riding the ups and downs of energy reserves and energy demands. And repeating the same unsuccessful scenarios over and over again.
It’s important to take a step back and reassess. How long has it been since you had a thorough medical exam and work up? Do you have a successful working relationship with your current doctor? Have you provided yourself with a good sleeping environment? Are you keeping a daily health record so you can understand your version of ME/CFS? Are you tracking your patterns? Are you repeating successful patterns? Have you created a small support group around you? Are you fueling your wellness with nutritious food and appropriate supplements?
What can you be doing differently that can change your current situation? What successful strategies do you need to return to?
What new strategies should you add? Please COMMENT on this blog or Send in your thoughts and I’ll post them with your permission. You can use the Contact Form or send an email to Martha at DefeatCFS dot net. And Guest Blogs are most welcome!
Look for a weekly posting on Tuesdays. And consider being part of the conversation.
Be Well Again,
