Episode 38 - The Pushing & Crashing CyclePlease Rate , Review, & Follow this podcast to get updates.Do you often feel that you are stuck in the pushing & crashing loop? Do you find yourself caught in a frustrating cycle, swinging between overactivity, and forced rest. When your symptoms are low, you push to get as much done as possible because you know you will crash soon enough; the overexertion triggers an increase in symptoms, leading to forced rest or a crash. Resting is usually successful in reducing symptoms and providing needed relief, but then, the pause in activities during this rest leads to feeling frustrated at all you didn't accomplish while resting; you plunge into another round of overactivity to catch up, leading to another crash. Listen to this podcast episode to learn more about pushing & crashing cycle, why you may be doing it and how to get out of it. Get Season 1 podcast guide:  https://www.rheumcoach.com/season1 Use this guide to track your progress as you listen to the episodes.
