you know, in the patient support groups that I'm in.

The idea being that you have a limited number of spoons per day.

And if you go through those spoons, then you're going to be into that overexertion range and you're going to pay for it later.

And it might not be just for a few days or a few weeks or a few months.

It might be semi-permanent worsening of your disease.

And that's daunting to think of because one of the things that we're taught in residency primarily, especially doing emergency training, is to power through.

That's what you do.

You can sleep when you're dead.

And so you're chronically sleep deprived, but it's okay because you're doing the right thing and you're taking care of patients.

And that's what you have to do.

And sometimes things are tough.

And, you know, I was treated badly when I did my training.

So that's what happens when you're a resident, you know, shit rolls downhill.

But that kind of attitude is exactly the wrong thing that you need when you have this illness.

So when I started getting the fatigue and the brain fog, as I know it was, that's the term for it.
