===Example: 4 spoons per day=== A person with more severe chronic fatigue, but who still has more energy than those with [[severe and very severe ME |very severe ME/CFS]]. This would be enough to: * get up (1 spoon) * get dressed (1 spoon) * watch TV (1 spoon) But it would be impossible for them to visit the doctor (4 spoons) because they would have to get up first (1 spoon) and get dressed (1 spoon). It would also be impossible to get up (1 spoon) and cook and eat a meal (3 spoons) if they also needed to take medication (1 spoon) or slept badly (1 less spoon than normal). Visiting the doctor or cooking would be more than the energy available, leading to significant [[post-exertional malaise]] which could last days.
