Sam Moss is an incredibly insightful and creative blogger and advocate for those of us with chronic pain. These strategies are designed to help you improve your health and well-being by pacing yourself. In PBC, our chronic fatigue is much like living with chronic pain, it takes everything out of us and some days we only start the day with a handful of spoons to get through the day. For the few of us who have both the debilitating fatigue of PBC and chronic pain, having tools ready for these days is critical.
With the holidays upon us, friends and family members everywhere, remember you have this resource to help you manage your Catastrophe Day(s).
Take care,
Cathy
