After all these years, I still forget.

Well enough, is not the same as well. In somewhat of a remission, is not the same as healthy. Its been 10 years of living with CFIDS and Fibro, though the last 4 have been better by far than the first 6. I should know what I can expect my body to be able to do and how my health might respond. I should know that, even when testing my limits to see if the remission has grown, I have limits to what I can do in a day. If I choose to do X then likely I will not be able to do Y. If I try to do X and Y anyway, I will require 2-5 days off work to rest and recover. If I have a rough night’s sleep I cannot just get up the next morning, drink some tea or coffee and push my way through the day. I can feel great one day and not be able to leave the house the next, often with immediately noticeable cause. I know these things, I know I do. Yet still I forget. I try to do what I want, when I want; and every time it’s such a shock to find I can’t.
