The third article in our series on pacing is now available at CFIDS/Self Help. Titled "Reducing Symptoms with Planned Rest," this article describes how to use rest periods to avoid problems and make life more stable. Discussing the effects of scheduled rests, one person in this self-help program said, "the effects of regular rests have been instant and quite phenomenal. It's turning out to be the best treatment I've ever tried. And it's free!"
