Sorry to hear that you are struggling with this dilemma Paul, trapped between having no energy to exercise and no exercise giving you less energy. I recognise this cycle, although in my case it is far less debilitating. I hope you can overcome this challenging chapter in your life. I think coffee and a (small) cake with a friend might help ;-D

I encounter something like this with friends who use manual wheelchairs, where people are always offering to push them places, but if they accept the offer too often then they loose strength in their arms and become dependant. Hearing your experience of then having to balance it all with chronic fatigue really highlights the dilemma. No simple fixes, thanks for sharing.
