Guest guest Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Well is it at all possible to not work 10 hour days? I do not ask this in a mean way I hope you are not offended its just that a lot of people with fatigue/FM etc cannot work at all so to be able to work a 10 hour day at ALL is an amazing thing! The thing that has helped me the most is resting when i need to and pacing out my activities having to make diffocult decisions and sometimes last min ones about whther I go to the activity I planned. Unfortunately IMHO there is no wonderful magic supplement to take you just have to pace your activities and rest when you need to, I guess you're working cause you need the money and thats totally understandable however your body is giving you a signal that its too long. How many days do you work and what do you do? I hope this helps ----- Original Message ----- From: purplearies16 Can anyone tell me what I can take to get more energy so that I can function in a day, I am so tired all the time, i work 10 hour days and I come home and sleep my life away, does anything help, anything from super supplements,anything???

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 There are lots of things that you can do: Learn about sleep hygiene and make sure the time you spend sleeping is productive sleep. Make sure your diet is healthy and low in sugar. Take short breaks or " power naps " during the day if possible. Learn to meditate or some other similar method of countering the stresses of your life. Do some form of exercise if possible but be very careful if you have ME/CFS as it can be dangerous to go beyond your capacity. What you can NOT do is take a pill and magically have the energy to work 10 hours a day and then go some more when you get home. You don't say what condition you have but for many of us on this list working at all is not possible, much less 10 hours a day. We would like to have a pill we could take that would allow us to live something close to a normal life instead of being isolated in our homes. If you have CFS/ME and continue to push yourself beyond reason without taking responsibility for your body, you will almost certainly wind up in circumstances similar to ours. What will you say when someone asks a question like this? > > Can anyone tell me what I can take to get more energy so that I can function in a day, I am so tired all the time, i work 10 hour days and I come home and sleep my life away, does anything help, anything from super supplements,anything??? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
