Hi, Angie. I've had disabling (but improving) CFS since 1996, though mine manifests somewhat differently. (Sitting down isn't bad. It's that classic post-exertional malaise that really kicks me in the teeth these days.) I'm always happy to hear about little things people do to reduce and manage fatigue.

If you aren't already familiar with the works of Floyd Skloot, let me recommend them, especially The Night Side. Skloot is a former Type-A hotshot who was suddenly "geezered" by chronic fatigue syndrome.

I laughed when people told me that they felt "refreshed" after a 10 minute nap. What is "refreshed?"

Heh. My reaction was, "Who takes a nap for just ten minutes?"
