Sorry to hear that winter is kicking your ***. This is my first SFN winter and it's also kicking my ***. The heat of the summer was definitely easier on me. My hands and feet just can't retain heat that well, so they get cold and colder and just never warm up. Time to invest in some heavy duty gloves and shoes.
Also, I think the moderation game, and only doing as much as you can, is the best method. That's what I do.
I do hope you get some more relief, and happy to hear that you're getting through more days of work.

I know too little is bad, but for quite some time I was doing perhaps too much. That lead to extra stress and problems. I used to park a mile away from work and considered that my daily exercise, now I am half that distance, if that.
I spent around two years pushing myself to a limit of sorts, which I think lead to the shingles last year. At any rate it caused me to look hard at how close my foot was to the floor of the car and whether I was getting results.
At the moment winter is kicking my butt. However, I am making it through more days of work than I was at this point last year and while certain symptoms are worse somehow I have managed to develop a system to eek out some restful sleep. Half the time I think it is exhaustion, but I've earned it. Thankfully my wife agrees.
