Lol that or "have you tried running more?"

Same, but somehow weak is often transformed by physicians in depressed or tired

Will be waiting for the second volume, a tragic epic poem about a post-doc denied tenure after falling sick

It's fuzzy for sure. If you try to lift a giant rock and your arm start to shake, you would say that the feeling is similar to being tired?

Pretty weird feeling because I finally thought I was doing great work and people loved it but oh well

Yes, trying to make peace with the fact that it could be the end of my career. Being competitive while healthy was hard enough

Then we need to support them somehow

No worries, it's hard for me to talk about so I've not been really updating much 😔 I keep hoping it improves

Indeed. Very easy to conclude "ah well you must be depressed"

Unfortunately too sick at the moment and too many papers on the waiting list if/when I recover...

Please someone write a paper 🙏

ils listent faiblesse musculaire mais ce que j'essaie de dire c'est que c'est techniquement pas la même chose.

Yes definitely I didn't mention all of these nuances, but it's crazy to me that we have only one word for all of these different things. And it seems dangerously easy to use the label for something totally different.

Oui mais ils te font marcher quelques mètres et concluent tout va bien 🫠

Ben c'est juste un synonyme, ça ne définit pas ce que cela veut dire exactement

Yes, but muscles not responding is not the same thing as any of this? If your arm burns from doing a pull up you wouldn't say "I'm tired/fatigued"?

So anyway, l don't feel tired or fatigued 🤷 my muscles don't work anymore that's it.

Mais du coup il définit comment la fatigue?

Yet when I specifically explain my muscles are weak and I can't lift a cup, a little bit like after overexercising (think lifting, pull ups), they conclude ah yes fatigue/tired (same word in French remember). But that's clearly not the same feeling so I'm confused

To me, tired is what you feel when you haven't slept enough or well (you feel drowsy and sleepy), or what you feel when you worked a lot either mentally or physically (low energy)

It doesn't help that those are synonymous in French (fatigue), but I had a surreal conversation with a doctor where I realised we might not have the same definition of what it means

Is there any philosophy (or medicine) paper on what we mean by fatigue and tiredness?

Je compatis. J'ai guéri assez vite après l'opération, c'était une blessure très standard. La douleur a mis plus de temps a disparaître

Bref dans ce monde si vous pouvez éviter de tomber malade tombez pas malade 🤷

:( je suis toujours pas remise je compatis

L'avantage c'est de ne plus sentir les parfums des gens (j'ai l'impression que c'est devenu la mode de se parfumer à outrance 😅 ) après j'ai chopé un rhume récemment malgré tout donc c'est pas parfait...

Là je ne peux plus trop me déplacer, mais Ffp2 dans les lieux clos. J'ai chopé un rhume malgré tout et ça m'a aggravé pendant deux semaines donc pas super efficace non plus 🤦

Ah mais justement on meurt pas. On souffre sans espoir d'amélioration. Bon il y a l'euthanasie volontaire hein super
