Extremely exhausted

[Gaily1770]

Does anyone have any tips to combating the exhaustion ? My daughter is struggling with it this side affect

[CP17]

For me, making sure to not overschedule myself and planning in enough time for sleep is necessary. Sometimes I need to just be in bed for 12 or 13 hours in order to rest and recharge, and then I feel better. Of course, this is one of the annoying parts of having a chronic illness--not being able to do as much as some people. I have 2 part-time jobs and probably average about 30 hours of work per week, which allows me to earn just enough to get by. But this is better than working too much and burning out and not being able to work at all.

Also, I tend to have more energy when I make sure to eat nutritious food, including plenty of fresh veggies. This may be partly a placebo effect, but I figure it definitely can't hurt to eat enough veggies. I'm curious what other people find helpful to cope with fatigue? Good luck to you and your daughter.
