She does seem to be quite knowledgeable and I appreciated her post today (or was it yesterday). She offered many good links that I've been reading.<br /><br />I think this is an out and out relapse, seeing as it's now day 22 or something like that...I've lost count. I've been out 3 times in the last 3 weeks and am having trouble with a lot of things. It is different this time around.<br /><br />Hope things are going better with you.

Thanks for the info...I do reme...Thanks, Penelope. Thanks for the info...I do remember you saying about your mom having CFS and Fibro. <br /><br />I find your comment about the gentle stretches and/or Tai Chi....very interesting. Just the other day, Brittney 'picked up my leg' (I was flat out on the bed...so it was limp) and she started moving up and down and around in small circles. It felt amazing and after she had stopped...I could notice a difference or small improvement in that leg. I've been having her do that each day, which I feel is helping. It seems to be the (gentle) stretching part that is helping. I've been wondering if a series of stretching exercises would be beneficial...and now you mention your mother does this and finds it helpful. I am going to research this concept further.<br /><br />I'm not too familiar with Tai Chi....but I'm going to investigate that as well.<br /><br />Your mom is right about the difficulties of trying to explain this to others. For healthy people..."pushing it" does help increase energy/improve fitness over the long haul...but with CFS its the opposite. Pushing it worsens it...with the next day being worse and the second day worse still and so on. That cycle can go on for days.<br /><br />She's right about stopping the minute she realizes she's going too far....that IS THE KEY. I know this too and I could feel it that day (after about lap 3). I should have stopped then....but I didn't. I had been feeling so much better and fell back into that mindset of just pushing it to increase energy even further. <br /><br />Thanks again for that info....off to look up those things.At Home on the Rock...https://www.blogger.com/profile/10321160489693435917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2567587326103602721.post-1843188179442525392010-01-24T10:01:53.010-03:302010-01-24T10:01:53.010-03:30I'm so sorry that you're still feeling und...I'm so sorry that you're still feeling under the weather Linda. I think I've mentioned before that my mother has been diagnosed with CFS and Fibro. She swears by a routine of gentle stretches (and/or Tai Chi) each morning. She's had her diagnosis for years, and she says that she just stops the minute she feels she's going too far. It's taken a while for her to learn the signs, but now that she knows what she's looking for, she's doing much better. Mom says the hardest part is when others don't get it...and try to convince her to push through it - that it will get better. <br /><br />I hope you feel better soon, and that you find what works best for you.<br /><br />((hugs))<br /><br />PenelopePenelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02468104105181259827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2567587326103602721.post-26726914503921177132010-01-23T22:36:53.952-03:302010-01-23T22:36:53.952-03:30What a nice thing to offer...thanks, Becky.What a nice thing to offer...thanks, Becky.At Home on the Rock...https://www.blogger.com/profile/10321160489693435917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2567587326103602721.post-25605302504238360682010-01-23T22:32:36.183-03:302010-01-23T22:32:36.183-03:30Linda, I wish I lived closer or you lived closer. ...Linda, I wish I lived closer or you lived closer.

Not fun at all. Sometimes we can figure out why and learn from it, but hey, don't beat yourself up. It is over and done with now, and it sounds like you are making plans to keep it from happening to this extent again.<br />HugsReneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07089685282700680525noreply@blogger.com
