energy
does anyone else have a problem with energy levels? i cant seem to do much of anything, i have no interest in doing anything, and i move as little as possible. even though i keep telling myself i wanna start running and get my life going again, i cant seem to get off the couch. any suggestions?
@caleb , welcome to the wonderful symptom of fatigue. You would do stuff, but your get-up-and-go has got-up-and-gone! It's something that needs to be managed, so that you have the energy available for when you need it. Have a read through this booklet for some helpful tips :- https://support.mstrust.org.uk/file/Living-with-fatigue-2018.pdf
@caleb I think that the best thing is to not try and go from 0-100. Instead, try and make small, incremental steps which over time you can build on. I’ve really discovered this can be applied to anything I try to do. I always use to rush and make a quick changes, that I couldn’t maintain, and quickly lost motivation and felt like I failed. So, rather than trying to run. Perhaps go for a walk, and build up the amount of time or distance you cover, over time. It’s incredible how once we have momentum things can get much easier and maintainable. Once you’ve got back to getting about, yoj May find yourself running, sooner than you thought. This is all from personal experience, and from someone who was not the most patient of people. So just give it time :) Take care.
