Barbara, you have landed at the TMS Forum by hook or crook. Something in your mindbody is telling you, your PROBLEM is TMS. Listen to your intuition, it's usually right. No one on this side of the screen can dx you, but the odds are high in your favor that it is TMS. Start trying to do things for yourself and you won't need to be dependent on strangers for help.
Start slowly with the simplest of tasks. Within two weeks the mindbody can adjust to almost anything--including being well again. JUST DO IT! As Walt Stack said, "Start slowly and taper off".
G'luck! |

Yep! Tennis Tom is right.

Barbara, in addition to what others have said, I would also offer you something I learned from my tai chi practice ... what is called the "80%" rule ... The "rule" states it is important to do ONLY 80% of what you think you CAN do IF you are well. If you are NOT well, then only do 40% at the start, until you are feeling better.
I would also offer that there should be a "5 or 10% rule" or a "baby steps rule" for people with CFS ... yes a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, but often to prevent setbacks it is good for that step to be a very gentle one! I even think in terms of 1% progress... ideas I've learned from Kaizen, TinyHabits, etc... RSR |
