@sunsopeningband want to credit you for bringing #MECFS to my attention a few weeks back. I did a deep dive in articles and filed it away in my brain. It paid off yesterday when I brought a patient post COVID to tears
I told her what I thought it was going on with her based on her complaints. She couldn’t even do the dishes or her laundry without having to lay in bed for the rest the week. She had a job that required a lot of mental strain and that would give her extreme brain fog & headaches
It was a great teaching moment for my student not only in the syndrome itself, but the importance of continued learning and challenging your own thought process.
@AcuteCareAPTA #AcutePTs @sunsopeningband What broke my heart though was that the patient said everyone involved in her care kept sending her back to #PT for the pain & fatigue & all of them kept telling her to “do things like normal” despite the recurrent exhaustion
When she asked me about this at the end of the session I think my exact response was “absolutely not!”. What I told her to do differently though was to try to the best of her ability keep a journal to track her symptoms and triggers @sunsopeningband
