Physical therapy! The original plan was to do the gait analysis treadmill for like 10 min, but she'd seen all the stuff in my MyChart and then decided to err on the safe side. Did about a minute at 10:30 pace and felt pretty out of breath/on the struggle bus. But that was enough for her to do the gait analysis part, and she told me:

1) Hip instability (which she's been telling me), and I should be trying to keep my feet farther apart when I run/keep working on glute stuff.
2) I'm apparently avoiding my right ball of my foot (woops, but I understand why :P)
3) Overall she said it looked pretty good and they're pretty minor things I can work on!

Also though, pt appointments are now on hold since I can't progress till I get the fatigue/other stuff figured out so I can exercise reliably. So gonna try to see how things go and how my follow-up appointments go, and whether the symptoms stay away/come back when I start again. Then I can message her once that's sorted!

I'm kind of nervous for my follow-up appointment since I've had a hard time communicating with my pcp, but then I talked to my doctor friend who gave me tips on talking to doctors, so that might help.
