I made the same mistake for the first year of CFS (not knowing I had CFS) -- I tried to keep up with my "old" life. I know it made everything worse, and my family really suffered that year. What a blessing when I discovered pacing! It may have caused me to really restrict my activities, but at least I was no longer a zombie just going through the motions. There's a good article on pacing at www.chronic-fatigue-community.com/Pacing.
