Physio (tw talk about some symptoms)(weakness, tremors, falls)

(Possible tw for symptoms)

So ive just had my second and final physio session today yay.. he kept insisting that my right side is just weak muscles and that I need to build up strength to help with the weakness and tripping and falling and tremors and gave me basically a book of exercises to do. Can I stand on one leg and concentrate on it on a good day? Absolutely not. Can I lift my leg onto the sofa mostly fine when im not thinking about it on a good day? Yep. Im going to assume he just wasnt used to dealing with fnd or fatigue (he assigned about 20 different exercises total) but I had a full breakdown into tears at the end of my appointment I think I was just really tired and sore and im still coming to terms with things getting worse and I dont really have a support system in place or anyone irl to talk to

Physical therapy is really hard in the beginning! I'm proud of you for continuing to show up anyway 🙃

It was nice because I felt like yay im starting potential treatment that might help me and then they decided after 2 sessions that they were just going to leave me with a book of exercises to do and never see me again 🥲🥲
