The days I exercise, even mildly such as a 3 mile run and 20 minutes of weights, I crash hard. I am used to running 5 miles and then going all day long. I miss my energy!
Sending positive thoughts & vibes for your health from Sacramento, California.
Since my diagnosis 10 yrs ago, I sleep 12 hrs a night. Also take naps whenever my body/immune system tells me to. Sometimes I nap for an hour plus, sometimes 15 minutes. I fought it in the beginning and it only worked against my already compromised immune system. We are all different tho..
My favorite thing to do is sleep lol 😄 only at night tho ..i am not a nap person..But I do rest in between Getting things done..and I take walks or ride my exercise bike.prefere to be out in nature
Fabulous post & by the sounds, absolutely, it all will work out in time! Concur on the negativity statement:) Have a sparkling rest of your day and keep on smiling, laughing and living!
Hi Nowayout. Good that you are putting your health/immune system first and will not return to a job that works against your health. When I was first diagnosed, I still pulled 40 plus hrs a week, by year 3 my system said hell no. I was very fortunate at the time as the CPA firm I worked for were extremely understanding and had no issues with me working 4 hrs/day. At my current job, they too, are very understanding..I work either 3 hrs/day or 5 hrs/day. Hopefully, in time you will find something else that is not so demanding on your health.
I credit my wonderful sleep to adhering to a nightly routine of zero tv (don't watch it much at all anyways), zero cell phone usage, caffeine free tea, journaling sometimes, reading a good novel (no thrillers, no horror,etc), dark room, cool room, & being grateful for the day, my life when I lay down. Took me a few years to "pay attention" to the evening ritual, but once I began eliminating things one by one, it became a fabulous habit!
