Helpful fatigue management programme

About: Lanarkshire Community Services / Occupational Therapy

(as the patient),

I attended this 4 week fatigue management course with Fiona and Lorraine this was a fantastic course, I met other people with rheumatoid arthritis an found out how it affects them, I have been able to pace myself and plan when to do something rather than doing too much and crashing, I used to wake up every night two or three times I now use methods I was taught at the course and now I wake up much less than before, I also found the meditation part very relaxing, I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who has fatigue or rheumatoid arthritis, both girls were very good and very understanding. It would be good if the course was longer,

Dear Hoopy,

Thank you very much for taking the time to comment on how helpful you found the Fatigue management course. I am delighted that you are putting things into practice and glad you feel it is making a difference already, particularly with your sleeping pattern.

This was the first time the course had been reduced from 6 weeks to 4 weeks and we will consider your comments for the next module.

I will pass on your comments to both Fiona and Lorraine,

kind regards
