Answers:
Take things easily. Just relax. if you feel like doing stuff just dont over do it. Health Question & Answer
No.
I would encourage you to do any activity that you feel capable of.
There is no benefit of enforced bed rest. Resting only makes you a good rester.
I have seen many patients who have been told to stay at rest for MONTHS on end -- then their doctors can't figure out why they still have such bad fatigue!!! Even a NASA astronaut would be fatigued after any more than one day at full bed rest.
Your only caution should be not to engage in contact sports if your spleen is enlarged.
But other than that - go out and walk, ride a bike - do anything you want. When your body has had enough, you'll get tired - that's your signal to go take a nap. Too much rest only causes fatigue and deconditioning as well as frank depression.Health Question & Answer
