Having suffered for a very long time with A.S. I have learned to cope with the lack of energy by taking things a bit slower... I don't rush around like I used to, everything now is taken at 'my pace'. If I feel energetic I may walk a little faster, the 'skip' has gone though....lol...lol
.
I personally think that everyone must learn to cope with whatever suits them best, not to worry about other people's thinking on 'what you should' be doing, It's what you find that suits YOU and only you.
Painkillers will undoubtedly help, a little exercise may help. Ultimately it's YOUR preference as to how you deal with the lack of energy. Sleeping all day is not the answer, you must keep as active as possible. I know that sounds daft, 'keep as active as possible' when your eyes are on 'stalks', but if you 'tire' yourself a little, a refreshing sleep will come. If you let it?
Stay POSITIVE that always helps.

Hello everyone,
How are you today? I thought I would revive this discussion, as fatigue is one of the most common symptoms of AS! 
So, how do you cope with the fatigue? Do you have any tips or advice? Have you modified your daily routine or schedule around your fatigue?

Feel free to share here!
Take care,

One of the symptoms of AS is lack of energy. It may prevent patients from sticking to their habits that they used to have before the diagnosis, like long walks, travelling, long family gatherings, etc.
Is there anything you had to change in your daily habits due to fatigue and lack of energy?
How do you cope with fatigue and lack of energy? What are you tips?
