For everyone who has to spread their energy
Fatigue comes with many conditions, and with all of them it helps to see where your energy goes. Dagbalans is not made for one illness or one clinic.
ME/CFS
With ME/CFS, exertion can strike back hours or days later; this is called post-exertional malaise (PEM). A diary shows which days came before a crash.
Long covid
After covid some people stay tired for months. Aftercare teaches you to spread your energy, often with a diary of what you did and how it felt.
Fibromyalgia
Pain and fatigue change from day to day. Keeping track of what you did shows which activities make your day heavy and which rest really helps.
MS
Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms of MS. Occupational therapists offer energy management to improve the balance between what you do and what you can manage.
Acquired brain injury
After a brain injury, thinking, talking and taking in what goes on around you cost much more energy. A diary shows what is mentally heavy, not only what is physically heavy.
Rheumatism
With rheumatism, good and bad days take turns. A steady rhythm of activity and rest helps to go up and down less.
Cancer
During and after treatment, fatigue is often the symptom that lasts longest. Hospitals advise keeping track of what takes energy and what gives it.
COPD and heart failure
When you are quickly out of breath, saving energy helps a lot: planning rest, spreading tasks and doing the heaviest at your best time of day.
Chronic pain
With pain, you often do too much on good days and need to recover afterwards. A diary helps to see that pattern and break it.
Burn-out
Recovery often starts with seeing where your energy goes. A diary of a few days makes that concrete, for you and for whoever guides you.
Is your condition not listed?
Dagbalans works with any kind of fatigue or limited energy. Without a diagnosis too, you can keep track of how your days go and talk it over with your GP or therapist.
