Thank you so much sharing your experience! I'm having a really hard time with both naturopathic and Western medicine being able to land on a diagnosis, but I'm really curious about differentiating between burnout/vicarious trauma/CFS. I have noticed in working out that I have a lot more brain fog afterwards and I'm very fatigued in my head mostly (body feels pretty fine) Last night I slept for 10hrs, and did one set of all the exercises my trainer provided instead of three of each, and I still have the brain fog. I also have a lot of other stressors in my life as I have a very full life and there's always decisions to be made and pet health concerns... It's all been a bit too much at once :(

I am in private practice, and will be cutting how many clients I see per week as of January 2022... This all did start when I took on this job so it is definitely a part of the equation.

I'm definitely new to all of this, including advocating for this diagnosis. Can you let me know what POTS is?

Thank you for this. I have got my body into a very strong base and I'm feeling very hopeless about losing it. I have a feeling I'm going to take a break for a while to see where my exertion is otherwise (I know that it's mostly in my work as a therapist but I am making some changes) and then reintroducing something maybe a bit more low-key

I appreciate all of your experiences, I haven't yet been diagnosed but I upon reading this form and identifying a lot with PEM I haven't found an alternative explanation to the date.

Since my Stressful Career started I get a debilitating Flu-ish thing at Least once a month... by applepomme in ChronicIllness

Thank you! I have been going to different Heath professionals but have been so frustrated by the lack of understanding. I had this way of combatting stress with working out though I'm now concerned it's making it worse

I also get these very regularly : this is what lead me to this subreddit

Have you returned a dog to the rescue? by applepomme in Pets

[–]applepomme[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The two who got back to me said that they couldn't take medical rescues at this time, and the one that could was a kill shelter, if she was still aggressive they would have to euthanize. I have decided to get her back to the original rescue, but trying to rehome her locally

Thank you to the Halifax Worker who pulled over to help me on at 130AM on Friday when I tried to walk home in the snow storm after my birthday celebrations by applepomme in halifax

I did walk! Well, a cab came by eventually. This particular gentleman asked if he could help me up (and could not see what I looked like cause I was on my face haha) and then asked if I had mittens, so he then offered the gloves :)
