https://blood-cancer.com/living/fatigue-incapacitatingI listen to my body and take a break, or do the work in stages. Nothing has to be done on the spot. My husband is great in cooking, dishwashing and making the bed. Little by little I can do more of the chores and increase exercise to keep up my body strength.
I usually try to work through it with housework or my crafting. But when it hits hard (like a wave), I give in and take a nap.
Debra KennellyI also try to distract myself sometimes but then when it is really bad I just fall asleep in my chair in front of the keyboard! Ugh! Keep on keepin' on, DPM
I cannot ever get to REM sleep. Pain wakes me up; along w Primary Myelofibrosis I have severe chronic anemia. I'm chasing one tail and following another.
