=== Energy Envelope Theory === {{Main article|page_name=Energy Envelope Theory}}<div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">{{Main article|page_name=Energy Envelope Theory}}</div><span></span> [[Leonard Jason]]'s [[Energy Envelope Theory|energy envelope theory]] is very similar to pacing. Patients are advised to stay within their envelope; meaning the limits the disease has imposed upon them. According to Jason: "the phrase, 'staying within the envelope' is used to designate a comfortable range of energy expenditure, in which an individual avoids both over-exertion and under-exertion, maintaining an optimal level of activity over time.”<ref>{{Cite journal | last= Jason | first = Leonard | last2 = Benton | first2 = Mary | date = Nov 2009| title = The Impact of Energy Modulation on Physical Functioning and Fatigue Severity among Patients with ME/CFS|url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2767446/|journal=Patient education and counseling|volume=77|issue=2|pages=237–241|doi=10.1016/j.pec.2009.02.015|issn=0738-3991|pmc=2767446|pmid=19356884}}</ref> Research has shown that ME/CFS patients who go beyond their envelope and spent more energy than they estimate to have, experience more symptoms over time.<ref name=":10" /><ref name=":11" />
