Hello and Welcome!

Apart from the regular leaflets and guide books, look up The Spoon Theory on the Net.

It will help explain to you how your energy gets depleted throughout the day, and will also help you to explain to friends and SO's why you may be too exhausted to go out on the town some nights.

It is possible to 'borrow' from tomorrows energy; but don't do it too often, as it is rather like an overdraft at your bank; it will need to be paid back and the interest rate is very high! Doing it too often can lead to flareups., especially if you are a bit under the weather.

Cheers, Midori
