Ich werde im Februar wg. Post Covid eine Reha antreten.

Ich bin trotz Wunschklinik, dies das, in einer psychosomatischen Klinik im Schwarzwald gelandet und werde voraussichtlich 5 Wochen lang aktiviert.

Gibt es Tipps, wie ich das ohne bleibende Schäden überstehe, ohne am Ende den Stempel Totalverweigerer im Bericht stehen zu haben?

[edit: Meine Frage richtet sich primär an Reha-Erfahrene Menschen. Und es gute Gründe die Reha anzutreten.]

Great to see this sympathetic overview article in the LA Times

https://www.latimes.com/doctors-scientists/medicine/primary-care/story/chronic-fatigue-syndrome-causes-symptoms-risks-management

It's long so many if not most patients probably won't agree with every sentence but overall gets across a lot sympathetically.

Note: it doesn't focus on any particular news

Diagnosis is a process of exclusion, requiring a thorough medical exam to rule out mimickers.
