I struggle with the conflicting advice for fibro and CFS. Docs say that for fibro we should get some exercise to ease the pain. They also tell us that we should rest for CFS. 
I've posted about working in the yard while I'm home on vacation. I busted my but in the yard Sunday and Tuesday. I'm kind of confused about how I'm feeling. I'm muscle sore, but expect that from what I've been doing. On the other hand, the fibro pain seems to have backed off a bit. I've still got fibro fog. I "misplaced" tools yesterday that were right in front of me - literally!
Maybe it's helping that I'm sleeping as much as I want? The power went out around 6:30 last night. I read for about an hour using my booklight. Then I decided to take a "nap". I woke up around sunup and shuffled off to bed. I ended up sleeping 12 hours!
Gonna brag on myself a bit. Those of us with fibro are known for pushing ourselves too hard. I'm known for working until I collapse. I've been sensible while working in the yard. Yes, I've been doing physically demanding stuff, but I take breaks when I need to. If I get too hot or start to feel tired I quit and come in the house. I'm proud of myself for having the sense to take care of myself.
