Always remember these gym guys are trained in teaching fitness, they are not trained in medical management of their clients. Also know that they are humans, doing a job, day to day and WILL get in a rut, this goes along with MD's, nurses, physical therapists...etc. Im saying this to make a point. There is no cookie cutter program, no one certain magic pill that fits everyone, and while not every one's complaint is the same, you see a non-ending stream of clinets every day, stating the same complaints over and over again. Some times they ramble on and on and on....when professionals try to cut to the core, the clients feel rebuffed, or that no one is listening to them. Then you have those with a little knowledge that like to take the prescribers plan and alter it their way, then return complaining its not working. I say all this to sum up one major point. We ALL must take responsiblity for our own health, our own health history, and learn how to talk to the medical professionals that we are entrusting our health with. #1) Not every med works the same on every one. 2) Give the med time to work, take responsibility in taking the med as prescribed, not as you desire. 3) There are no miracle pills, there is pain, illness, stress & emotions in life, we must learn to deal with life as it is. For those of us that have def. we must take medication and balance the side effects with the outcomes. 4) We HAVE to eat right, rest, exercise & maintain daily hygiene. 5) learn how to talk to our professionals. before any visit, wright down all of your meds, that includes over the counter, herbals, vitamins. The name of the drug, the dose, frequency, how taken, why taken, is it working, side effects. Next, write down your health history, omitting your neighbors, cousins, etc, just your own. Do you have any heart conditions, diabetes, kidney diseases, etc. Are you allergic to any medication. meds that make you feel weird, gives you gas, makes your nauseated or just dont like it doesnt count. A true allergy causes an itchy rash, swelling-especially in the lips, tongue, throat. Any surgery history. That usually means being put to sleep and being cut open. A wart removed, a tooth pulled at the dentist is not. On your list, write your other or previous MD's name and phone#, your pharmacy name and phone number on it.
If this is a new MD or other professional. Stick to the problem you came about. Write this down if you need to. Keep it short and to the point. List your symptoms in one or two words, not paragraphs. The more you run on and talk, the less they listen.
I say this to all for I am a nurse, I take medical historys and listen as MD's try to extract info from pts. Keep your answers simple, factual and to the point. Write a list of short questions you have so you will remember to ask them, keep a pen in hand to write down their directions. Dont be afraid to tell them you dont understand what they just said or what they want you to do.
Lastly, use common sense. If someone tells you to start doing exercises for 30 mins at a time and you have a severe reactions (and I agree it sounds like a body reaction of adrenaline/noradrenaline, cortisol, and you sound very sensitive to these) Then dont do 30 mins. Start very very slow, do just a bit to let your muscles wake up, take your time increasing it as you tolerate it. When I start someone mall walking, we only go around one time for about a week, then we increase it to one and a half rounds, its a few weeks before we kick it up, that way the body gets introduced to the adrenaline release, the muscle stress and reduces the person from giving up too quickly. I also love including Tai Chi, it helps with my anxiety do. Good luck to you
