I am been noticing that I am able to tolerate so much more pain when I am busy. I am trying to find that balance so I don't over do it. I find myself either cleaning to long or doing something that I have no business lifting. Then the next morning I am all locked up. The words in moderation hasn't sunk in yet. Lol I like having a schedule and staying moderately busy to distract my pain or poor me syndrom.

Try starting something, then sitting down for a few minutes, and then going back to what you were doing.  I keep the computer on nearly all day and go back and forth that way.  If you like TV, you can do that.  This way, I am not doing something for a long period of time that can cause me more pain but yet I'm getting things done.  I usually can do about a half an hour on and a half an hour at the computer.  The resting in between does help.

When I "have it together" mentally, I use the kitchen timer to remind myself to move and switch tasks
