In this video, Adrianne Sist answers the questions people ask most about expanding activity. When is it actually safe to do more? What do you do when symptoms come up while you're out? And how do you handle the hundreds of small daily decisions that recovery asks of you?
Adrianne was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome, POTS, and post-viral symptoms; with 50+ symptoms at her worst. Five years on, she's fully recovered, has an 11-month-old son, and helps others get their lives back.
