  • How do you manage fatigue?

    As we all know and experience it, fatigue is a major symptom of living with FA.

    In the years since my diagnosis, I have learned the different levels of my tiredness and how to manage each one. In the end, I must be kind to myself, pace things out, and give myself extra time to get stuff done.

    What are some approaches and strategies you take to manage fatigue?

    I tell my son to only do what he has to do, not to beat himself up for sleeping in, and have grace for himself when he can’t do the extras. He is hard on himself but compassion for yourself is a lesson to be learned.
