One of the hardest things for me to learn was pacing myself so I didn't exhaust myself, plus learn exactly what my limitations were. If you push yourself though the exhaustion you may do more harm than good. This disease doesn't like that or stress. Especially in the beginning be gentle with yourself and allow yourself time to heal and your body needs to adjust to the meds. What ever is going on in your life will be there when you are feeling better or if it isn't it wasn't meant to be anyway.
Although it's hard not to feel guilty there are some things you just need to say no to. I missed my granddaughter's birthday party last Dec because I just couldn't leave the house. I barely made it through Thanksgiving. The kids all survived this (they're adults), but even younger kids can understand when you're sick. My grandkids understand that grandma just can't do some of the things she used to. Be gentle with yourself while you heal.
