I used to be able to just ride the waves - get a little extra rest, go for a walk, but that doesn't work for me any more.

I am more depressed, and in more pain, so I am kind of in a viscious cycle that keeps me down way more than up anymore.
I don't even feel good when I'm up, I just spend more $$ !!

But I know, the better i can stay in balance with diet, exercise, etc., the better I do overall.

You know the simple stuff like taking baths. Fixing my hair even though I am not going anywhere. It is the little stuff that keeps us sane
