Default Look for ways to concerve energy

Hi Mouse1,

I applaud you been able to work and continue, I am 15 months pcs and am not able to go back to work. Fatigue is a huge problem and while it may or may not be around for a while, it is important to structure your life to limit you energy usage.

I have a chair in the kitchen, that I can sit on or lean to work at the stove and prepare meals, I have a stool by my washer and dryer and I sit down to sort my laundry and to put it in the washer and dryer. I also try not to go up and down the stairs a lot. When I go into the basement to do laundry I find other things to do down there and plan chores by floor.

I try to limit my stress, kids can kill this easily, but you have to put thing in smaller portions and still find time for complete rest. Meditation has help me and it is like power resting for 15 minutes.

Good Luck and be easy on yourself, it can take up to 3 years or longer to really recover and you don't want set backs.
