There is so much wrong with this thinking & this advice
Would psychological support help cope with ongoing debilitating symptoms -of course & should be welcomed
Do u have these symptoms because u r ‘prone to distress’, oh and being a woman & younger, & CBT will resolve it. NO

The advice given here as fact, that severity of fatigue relates to time spent resting after illness is v wrong & dangerous. The #PACE trial looking at CBT & Exercise (in #ME , a prolonged post viral fatigue syndrome) has been thoroughly debunked. 3/
Vink et al, 2019 looking at ME prognosis, found lack of rest after initial serious illness, a bad prognostic indicator for #ME prognosis. PLEASE REST.
Pace yourself, don’t rush back, you could pay the price.
As @PhysiosForME have been educating their #physio colleagues, Rest!!
