You should never focus on or try to copy what other people do; ME/CFS can affect people in different ways. I am currently at 40% according to David Bell's disability scale which is pretty low for me. I am glad that you liked the article and have returned the favor by adding your blog to my blogroll. After seeing your well designed blog I think I should give the layout of my blog a higher priority. I will post updates on my goals for 2010 every 3-4 months. Hi Dominique.

For me, it was my first time really thinking about what I wanted for the upcoming year (due to me suffering from M.E as well). I hope things can slightly improve for you over the next couple of months so you can achieve everything you wish in the next year. Regards, Jessica Hi there Johan,

She says: "Most C.F.S. patients do better if they break up their exercise into short segments, take brief rest periods and then try again. Certainly pushing through can cause "crashes" and relapses that can last days, even weeks. So I tell my patients the five-minute rule: five minutes of exercise, then five minutes lying flat, then five more minutes - increasing their exercise by five-minute increments. If you can already tolerate more exercise than this, then try going that far, taking a break, then trying another round. Also, C.F.S. patients tolerate flexibility and resistance exercise (stretching and weight training) better than aerobics. Because C.F.S. patients are prone to blood pressure drops while exercising, they usually tolerate aerobic training best while in a flat position - swimming, recumbent bicycling, that sort of thing."

That would explain why I could exercise at a higher average and maximum heart when swimming, compared to walking and cycling. Could also explain why cycling feels more rewarding than walking for a same period of time. Hi, Linda.
