  • Hiya. I have ME/CFS and it's so hard isn't it? I've been looking at ways to do some toning and gentle exercises myself.

But stretching exercises like that help and as they are all lying down…

  • Yes have you checked that you've changed the time zone setting to your local time? Find it on My Home > Settings I don't know if MFP counts a day by your time zone or it's own timezone but I login twice a day to be sure even if I'm not adding to my diary. But I think sooner or later I'll drop a day. It doesn't mean you're…

    in Amitriptyline and Weight Loss Comment by tumteetum March 2012

  • Thank you thank you :) Yep it's not a sprint and it takes time to change habits. I'm still learning and adjusting. Increased my water intake a lot but still not getting the recommended amount. Something to work on as it does really help with appetite/avoiding getting the munchies

  • Great idea to use the group I'm A Person Not A Diagnosis (although when I looked for groups before to do with disability I didn't find that one) http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/761-i-m-a-person-not-a-diagnosis I have ME which means even tiny physical efforts (like having a shower) can leave me utterly exhausted.…

  • You can make tasty crepes with just buckwheat flour mixed with water to a thin batter consistency. A pinch of salt helps too. Tricky to get them thin though.
