A very educational post about a ME/CFS /Long Covid experience from the perspective of a person with an occupational/physical therapy background.

This is why I'm too scared to see a physiotherapist or an occupational therapist, even when they advertise that they deal with chronic fatigue etc. I'm seeing that their work revolves around doing things, but that's what's making my symptoms and health worse.

It's depressing having to explain to every health professional that the literal journey to attend their appointment is easily too much and affecting my health, even if it involves a short walk. If getting there and back is an issue, how is doing whatever they're recommending in addition likely to help?
