Two miles walked. Still 15 minutes below my 60-minute 'Moderate' exertion limit for the day. HT #KiActiv
#Pacing to avoid overexertion this #LongCovid Awareness Day

Learning to say no was one of the hardest things chronic illness taught me. But it was also one of the most freeing. Protecting your energy isn't selfish, it's survival.

Finally getting back out this week after: prolonged flare, recovery, flare relapse and now recovery again. This was a good #reminder for me... Not just #hiking but for #mindest and #pacing for every day life.

...because I regulate my daily MOVEMENT 👇
25% of my day is 'non-sedentary', meaning that I'm Resting 75% of each day! (this is my optimal level)
And I'm keeping my 'Moderate' activity below 60 minutes a day.

Health changed… but your expectations didn’t?
Many people push harder to keep up.
But pacing helps you adapt, regain control, and do more reliably.

#ThoughtfulTuesday #Pacing #ChronicPain
Feb 8th to March 10th 2024. Very up and down
Feb 9th to March 12th 2025 - fewer extremes but up and down
Feb 9th to March 10th 2026. Mostly 4 out of 5
What getting on-top of my #LongCovid #PEM symptoms looks like 👇

REPOST AND FOLLOW ME
KiActiv movement graph for every minute of today. And a pie chart showing 9 hours 22 minutes Sedentary (mostly lying down), 2 hours 47 minutes Light Movement and just 51 minutes of Moderate movement.
..and all within my 60-minute daily limit for 'Moderate' activity - as measured by the #KiActiv sportswatch that I wear.
11 hours of overnight rest and Monday will be manageable 😊
#Pacing to avoid the debilitating #PEM associated with my (relatively minor) form of #LongCovid 🙏
Heartrate graph shows lots of lying down in between each set of exercises
Just 7.7 out of today's 30 pacepoints used! Well behind the pacesetter
Cooked a meal and thought that was it for the day; but after lying down for 30 minutes I decided to go to the gym after all.
I don't regret it! Feeling much better in myself and still FIFTEEN #VisibleHealth PacePoints behind today's PaceSetter 😊
I've managed so much today by #Pacing!

5/ Auch #Pacing wird entsprechend dargestellt als (wortwörtlich) „mal eine Pause einlegen“, was manche Patienten angeblich nicht schaffen,
weswegen sie dann „den Rest des Tages platt“ seien.
Visible Health Stable. HRV higher than recent average. Resting HR lower than recent average
EliteHRV 8 out of 10 Readiness. Almost in perfect balance between Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nervous Systems.
Kubios Normal Readiness 70%
Slept for another 3 hours. Sorted 😄
Lucky that I was able to do so 🙏
I'll be pacing very carefully as I mow our lawn, resting regularly, and I'll be cautious before also choosing (or not) to then visit the gym. Debilitating Post-Exertional-Malaise needs avoiding.

⏰ Time Change Tonight! For those with fibromyalgia, even a 1-hour shift can affect sleep, energy & daily rhythms. Be gentle with yourself—keep routines steady, rest when needed, and give your body time to adjust. 🌿 #FAC #Fibromyalgia #TimeChange #SelfCare #Pacing

Visible pace points graphic. Just 1.6 out of today's 30 PP used
Following pretty much 24 hours of Rest, I've just thoroughly enjoyed a 45-minute (just over 1 mile) walk into town.
Now *this* is #pacing 👇😄
Sitting on every available bench along the way.
Pacing to avoid #OverExertion and to keep the #LongCovid #PEM symptoms at bay 🙏
Visible Looking Stable
EliteHRV 9 OUT OF 10 READINESS
Kubios 75% Readiness
Early Saturday morning and I've got this #LongCovid body under control - for now...
#visible_health Stability and HRV trending upwards
#EliteHRV Readiness and Balance
#kubiosHRV Readiness also great
#Pacing to avoid debilitating #PostExertionalMalaise during a dental infection
KubiosHRV app says High Readiness of 77%
EliteHRV readiness 9 out of 10
Resting Heartrate nice & low (in the mid-50s bpm) & the painkillers acted quickly to ease all symptoms.
#KubiosHRV also suggesting High Readiness & a slightly elevated HRV this Friday morning 👇
And #EliteHRV reinforces this message: My body is thankfully In Balance 😊
#Pacing well 🙏

That was nearly 2 years ago & I haven’t worked since.
But I’m also now preparing to start my own independent Occupational Therapy practice shaped by both my clinical experience and my lived experience of chronic illness.
#LongCovid #PwME #POTS #Pacing #OccupationalTherapy
I was incredibly lucky to have an understanding manager who, towards the end of my contract, allowed me to work a few hours a week from home completing a stroke audit.
#LongCovid #PwME #POTS #Pacing #OccupationalTherapy
Again I bounced in and out of work, periods of sickness followed by attempts to return, until eventually I went on long-term sick leave.
#LongCovid #PwME #POTS #Pacing #OccupationalTherapy
Sadly, just before starting that role I caught another work acquired COVID infection & my health deteriorated significantly. Over the following 2 years I had 4 pulmonary embolisms despite being on anticoagulation.
#LongCovid #PwME #POTS #Pacing #OccupationalTherapy
It was maternity leave cover and I saw it as giving myself a year to figure things out. I thought maybe a different setting would be more manageable. And if it was still too difficult, then I would know it was time to make a change.
#LongCovid #PwME #POTS #Pacing #OccupationalTherapy
I tried so hard to hold on to my career. I bounced in and out of work off sick, phased returns, reasonable adjustments & reducing my hours. Eventually I changed specialty & went back to a hospital I had previously worked at.
#LongCovid #PwME #POTS #Pacing #OccupationalTherapy
2 weeks into that job I caught a work-acquired COVID infection that completely changed my life.
I now live with multiple life changing diagnoses, take over 40 tablets a day & spend most of my days in bed.
The dream turned into a nightmare.

Screenshot of an Instagram “Memories” page showing a story from six years ago. The story image shows a table with a vase of colourful tulips (purple, pink and yellow), a glass of champagne, and a leaving card that reads “Sorry you’re leaving.” Overlaid text on the story says “Start dream job on Mon!” and a music sticker shows the song Celebration by Kool & The Gang.
This memory pops up every year & it always takes my breath away.
6 years ago I was about to start my dream job in neurorehabilitation. I had an active social life, went to the gym regularly & was even looking at houses to buy. Life was great!
