Very accurate. The way I try to describe it, like a worn out recharchable battery- only charges to 80%, runs down quickly when you try to use it and takes ages to charge back up again.
This is in some way trivialising the suffering, but I find helps people understand a little what it's like. At it's worst whilst I might be able to get out of bed and use the toilet, it takes a level of forethought, planning and effort that is unreasonable.
