Here is something I can recommend. Get a pedometer or some gadget like it such as Fitbit or Jawbone Up. I am finding it very helpful. I can check to see if I have been too inactive, or too active. Last night I was wiped out and it was reassuring to know that it was because I had been very active, no other reason.
I think the naltrexone is allowing me to recover. In spite of being wiped out, I woke up feeling good, very refreshed.

But sometimes my mind (wheels spinning in high gear) wears me out while just sitting on the couch. Wonder if there is a mental tachometer on the market?
As for getting a REAL pedometer, I don't know...I think it would show how very inactive I am and then I'd get even more depressed!!?? Well, I'll think about getting one. I know moving more would make me feel better. And the pedometer would be a good incentive...until I accidentally drop it in water because it won't show enough steps for the day.
