The usual management strategy for me is to do things in very small bursts. For me that is two to three minutes. This is followed by adequate rest. This is part of my pacing strategy.

you are 100 percent right appreciate I really don't know if I can do it just being honest I already pushed through limits I can't believe I'm aliveI really urge you not to cultivate a mentality whereby you want to simply push through things and resist the disease. A lot of people on this forum started out that way, and I can guarantee you that the ultimate conclusion is that a gentle approach to activity is more effective.
The harder you push, the harder it will push back. I admire your strength of will, but you won't be able to face down a crash by strength of will alone.

It landed me in a nursing home.
Thing is, it is a much worse dilemma if you tip yourself over an edge and can no longer take care of yourself. Many here have done that--see below.I want to exercise i dont care how fatigued I am but of I push to hard I'm finished where I can't push through this is my dilemma! I'm very frustrated
I had that attitude as did many of us. It landed me in a nursing home. Never recovered.
I am sorry to hear that, Countrygirl We'll break you out of that place, if it is the last thing we do!
The underground brigade is putting together strategies was we write.if my doc gets her way I shall be attending a fatigue clinic who are partial to sectioning their ME patients as they can't understand why they are so ill. IF that happens to me please arrange for the ME underground brigade to help me break out.
