I just have to listen to my body. Most days are ok is but a bad day I push myself to shower and get dressed and then I lay on the bed all day. On a good day I get everything I need to get done. I also go to bed early not to sleep but to rest the body. I do have a smoothy made with coconut water and frozen berries or mango...because chewing is too much for me. That's a bad day it is. I'm not that good with eating as some of my recent posts have eluded to but this has reminded me even when I think ops I haven't eaten all day I can make a smoothie each time I remember and drink that. So responding to you has also helped me. Often the way. I also use peppermint essential oil in a hot bath at bedtime on a day when pain level and fatigue are high...that seems to help. Try to think of it as you would with any unwell person you would tell them to rest. The hardest thing to let go of for me is guilt. If I have promised to do something and a bad day hits and I just can't do it I do feel very guilty but I would not expect a sick friend to keep a promise so what is different for me. I strive to push through sometimes but it makes it worse. You have to be your own best friend on this. A bit of physician heal thy self!
