Really liked the piece you wrote and it’s quite true. Stretch goals are great but we need to know our limits and also know when to take breaks and pace ourselves.

Thank you Ralph for reading my article. I think we all struggle with pacing ourselves sometimes. I am great full though to be able to be open about these struggles and hopefully help others going through the same things.

The fatigue was one of the hardest things for me to deal with when I was first diagnosed. I take Methotrexate and it has helped me a lot with the fatigue. I still get tired and have to rest , but I rarely take a nap. I just started the medicine back in the summer, before then just taking a shower wiped me out. I had to learn to pace myself and not over do it.

Tracy, I’m so glad that you found a medication that has minimized your fatigue. I’ll have to ask my doctor about this medication. Have you experienced any side effects from the drug?
