I am a 30-40 on this scale. But sometimes it is lower. It just depends on the day.And there are days I am bedridden and it can last up to weeks without treatment.

Am usually around 30 when taking all my meds, although the last couple of weeks closer to 20. Force myself out of bed, but can then be pretty friendly with the sofa or recliner for the rest of the day.

I range from 10-40
Mostly I've been about a 30 the last few weeks Kind of depressing... I felt I was doing so good since I've been spending more than an hour a day out of bed... I can't even imagine being able to work full time... Thank god I have a career with a flexible schedule... I do need to start working more though... Running out of money :(
