I never thought I'd end up with a chronic illness where the most useful health advice comes from an old Vaudeville joke:
Patient: Doc, it hurts when I do this!
Doctor: Then don't do that!

On a more serious note, here's a web page with information on pacing so you can avoid PEM (post-exertional malaise, also called post-exertional symptom exacerbation).
Scroll down to see links to pacing and management guides.

EDIT: Pacing is not a treatment, it's just a way to try to minimize symptoms!
We need to find better treatments, or a cure, but sadly this is what we have right now.
