Your body will let you know when it's ready for the next level if you study it's signs without obsessing over them.
When I first started trying to reintroduce exercise to my day I could walk maybe 500' before exhaustion and I used 12 oz soup cans for weights. It was truly humiliating but I did manage to persevere as I was able.
It's all much better now, worth the struggle.

Thank you bud! I am indeed a bit worried of relapsing. It happened many times before. But now i feel i can take it up a notch since I'm finally functioning normal. I will be carefull in reintroducing excersise. I hope it can counter the fatigue.
Btw I'm not only asking this for myself but for a friend who is also going to pcs. For her it's much worse. She has it for over 3 year and told me it only got slightly better after 2 years. Her biggest problem is fatigue. I feel heartbroken to see someone suffering so badly for so long. Im meeting up with her soon so we can discuss some strategies that can hopefully help.
