- I just want to add my 2 cents for exercise. The doctor that diagnosed my CFS
- said that exercise probably wasn't good for me. Early on in my illness when I
- did usual physical activity, I just couldn't handle it, or I'd sleep hours
- afterwards or be in pain for days. but now 8 yrs down the road some exercise
- can make me feel MUCH better. I find walking on a track helpful because I can
- stop at any time and not be too far from where I started. Swimming is my
- preferred activity, when I can get myself to do it, then I feel so much better
- (usually). 3-4x per week is when I am doing my regular amount of exercise. I
- still get motion sick in the water, so I get out when that happens. Using a
- mask and snorkle has helped this problem alot.
- I used to referee my sons
- soccer games, but I find the combination of running the field and having to
- concentrate my mind fully on the game to be exhausting. And I have a difficult
- time remembering the rules! I really struggle with wanting to remember these
- rules just like all the other refs. but I didn't learn soccer until after I had
- CFS and some memory patterns just fly by me.
