Hi Cliffman

I agree with the above - part of accepting this condition is recognizing your limits and working to them. I sometimes have days with complete brain fog (or severe headaches) - those are what I tell myself are "No Power Tool Days". It doesn't mean I stop trying to do things I used to - I just put them off for a day when I feel more capable (also a safety thing) and instead take care of easier tasks.

More frustrating are the "Lost Days" when almost nothing gets done due to pain, fatigue or any number of issues. It's taken me a while to accept this but it's part of the 'not being hard on yourself'. Realizing that sometimes your body just needs time to vege out and re-energize.

Take the good days and run with them (ie: get things done) and just endure the bad days.

All the best for future DIY projects.
