Have you tried the spoons theory? How often do you use it?

OK, so I don't employ this tactic, I'm like a bull in a China shop, rush in, over do it, suffer the consiqence! I'm gonna try this tomorrow, save as many spoons as I can, rest most of the day, see if I actually feel any better having done minimal activity. Does it work? We shall find out xx

I like the spoons theory. Personally I suffer more from pain than fatigue from endo and migraines, so often I'm fortunate to have a lot of spoons. However, I need to be diligent about planning in enough sleep and regular meals, otherwise I will get a migraine and be in pain for days. So I do have to make sure not to take on too much, and I work less than I would if I didn't have any health issues.

Hope trying this approach helps you

Fatigue is a real problem with bowel involvement, I can honestly say I'm sleeping my life away. Food is a big issue for me too, I struggle to get it down, I just have no desire to eat so I snack (on crap) I know logically what I'm doing is cause and effect, every action has a consequence I just can't seem to break the cycle. Headaches, my Dr says migraine I disagree I think cluster headache, have become the bane of my life, my vision is worsening and I truly am scared of the future it looks bleak at best, I'm struggling with the consept of being THAT girl, I've disassociated myself from everybody, family, friends, my entire life has been tipped on its head. I don't use my 'health' to my advantage, a good day means I kill myself trying to be a good wife, I trip myself up at the first hurdle, my common sense seems to have dissipated as the disease takes hold. I never knew a healthy bowel movement could dictate my day, its been so long since I had any type of 'healthy' movement I'm not sure I could identify it if it happened. We don't deserve this life, none of us are bad people, but we're here and its happening all we can do is be a shoulder for each other in our times of need xx
