Managing Fatigue
- The number one thing I have to keep remembering is that I had to change from hurry up and get the thing done, to slow down and take your time.

Fatigue Tips
- Exercise as much as possible. Get as much sunshine as possible. Eat several small meals each day. Do daily tasks (cleaning., vacuuming, etc.) in 15 -20 min. segments. Be faithful in taking meds and supplements on a regular schedule.

Relaxation is the Key
- What works for me is if I can make myself relax. Having fatigue doesn't mean that you are relaxed and as long as you push yourself to keep going the fatigue will continue. Doing deep breathing exercises helps as does relaxing with a good book, whatever it takes to help you to relax. When you quit fighting yourself your body will relax and your fatigue will resolve. Until the next time. Hope this helps.
