12. It's very hard to adjust to the fact

that I can't live my life at the same pace. There are days where just trying to get dressed hurts too much, so I stay in my pajamas all day.
I was very active hiking, camping, gardening and now I can't even bend down to pick up items that I drop. The fatigue is real, I refuse to let anyone outside my circles opinion matter to me. My loved ones know I am ill, and they are supportive. Still, I have days where I feel guilty about resting.Having others in the same boat as support is helpful.
