My neurologist has taken me off full-time employment and put me on short term disability as I struggle to recover from a relapse that occurred around Thanksgiving. I'm having PT and OT twice a week in an outpatient clinic setting that specializes in neuro rehab, and am dutifully doing my rehab exercises each day at home.
I will be getting AFOs for both legs to help with my foot drop. It seems to take so much out of me just to get in and out of the house and the therapy clinic, that I am totally exhausted and weak with "concrete" legs almost to the point of tears the evening of therapy, and sometimes into the next day too.
I honestly don't feel the therapists are working me too hard.......but this kind of complete physical fatigue is new to me since the 11/17 exacerbation. Thoughts from those more knowledgeable than me?
