I'm not the parent commentor, but I have MS which presents a lot of similar issues. For me, the main things I use to determine my limits are: - "Does doing this increase my odds of a relapse?": There are correlations between stress and risk of relapse, so I manage my stress very closely. - "Is doing this/pushing through sustainable, or will I need to borrow energy/sleep more/create issues going forward?": This one is hard because it involves knowing oneself and one's triggers and body very well. Like I'll down a shit ton of aspirin and Benedryl to work through migraines because I know they're brought on by either quick changes in barometric pressure or my menstrual cycle, which resolve quickly and can't spiral into worse problems. MS heat intolerance, on the other hand, means I need to stop and rest if I end up too warm because my nerves will be fried until I rest even if the weather does cool down.
