The Art of Pacing in CFS/ME

A frequent discussion topic on our Facebook page and in other forums is the delicate balance between activity and rest. We’ve published several articles about this topic over the years because of the challenge that many people with CFS experience in trying to avoid pushing and crashing through symptom relapses. An article included in the March Link written by Alex Howard generated negative response to portions of its content, so we've replaced it with one from the Chronicle archives written by Bruce J. Campbell, PhD, "Managing Your Energy Envelope." If you've found a helpful article on the subject of pacing and energy management, please send it to us at cfidslink@cfids.org.
