Early in my ME encounter I was told to avoid "Boom and Bust" and to aim for day to day consistency.
I was also given the advice:
"Do only 60% of what you can sustain without producing symptoms".
Now these two bits of advice are excellent, but not at all easy to achieve. After all, if I really DID do so little, as to never produce symptoms, then how would I know if I was starting to improve?
I was thinking about this dilemma recently, and being a science teacher (prior to ME) I couldn't resist a few graphs to help me think all this through! Perhaps they'll help you too?
