some interesting beliefs but I don't agree that on good days we have to do less and this establishes reconditioning as well as anxiety as people don't have concrete evidence of "what is too much" so end up worrying that they have done too much. I am convinced it is overarousal of autonomic nervous system ( as supported by Wyller and masses of other research ) which means that any concern will sustain the arousal and then peak i.e. crash. Limbic system is like our fusebox and it will shut us down when it perceives you are doing more than it is programmed to cope with- so be pleased that your body ( yes listen to your body ) and be thankful we are being given a rest. then when refreshed, pick yourself up and be normal. Then the body has a chance to recondition itself and return to normal levels of health. Be grateful, kind and loving to yourself, serene and fearless when you crash and then the body will return to health. Choose healthy beliefs; I know ( believe) I recovered this way and not by lowering activity on a good day. x x x
Thank you so much for this comment. I don’t like pacing because I always have the fear of doing too much which then this negative belief then causing a crash 💥
good clip I think it is important to recognise on the road to recovery that at times, beyond your control, life events will cause you to overuse your supplies and then it means rest and restoring yourself back to the previously established baseline
Hi Alex could you do a video on insomnia and sleep? My crashes at the moment are caused by either lack of sleep ir anxiety (which I've worked very hard on but sometimes it still affects me in the early hours as I worry about the future) as I'm housebound right now. I've either been told the two extremes you mentioned which was very stressful last year and the year before. Too much control re invigorates old obsessive thought patterns but not control made me confused and hysterical and all over the place.
Hi Alex, from your experience, does having a cold set you back and makes you go back to the "crash stage"? Because I'm still figuring out if the reason why I'm crashing now is the cold that I had a couple of days ago or it was from overuse energy supply from my body. Thanks
Thanks but you make it sounds so technical...pacing base line quantity....If only it was that easy ! energy does not work that way in my experience of a fed up and frustrated sufferer
Yeh I had frustrations with that. It finally clicked for me about 6 months ago and I shot up after so much frustration trying to so carefully pace myself... I share my story now

Great summing up of things Alex. Thanks

I've spent thousands on so called cfs specialists and still sick
