Because mental and physical effort can worsen symptoms, it’s important for people with CFS to pace themselves. Ideally, individuals should aim to estimate their energy levels/tolerance for certain activities, and plan out their days to avoid overexertion.[1][2]
There are many symptom-oriented options for CFS, although the degree to which they help individuals may vary. Such options include meditation/mindfulness, light therapy, behavioral changes (e.g., memory aids), physical therapy, massage, acupuncture, and neurofeedback.[1]
