Pace yourself, I often hear this and in theory it makes total sense but is it practical in everyday life?
When I was first diagnosed with Fibro I attended a Fibromyalgia course at the hospital and part of this was about pacing but putting it in to practice is another matter as I find as soon as I stop I crash, so use to push through to get things done.
Now the idea of pacing is to stop the crash so maybe I did do too much first, but life does not stop while we rest, appointment times still need to be met and for those with children who are always on the go I am unsure how you manage but my hat goes off to you.
As each condition is diagnosed pacing is mentioned and I do try, it is very much related to the spoon theory. I sleep after my shower, if I have been out the house or concentrated on something for a while I need to sleep.
I am going to give pacing more thought.
