Summary
Nightjar 63481 trained as a fighter before ME/CFS; the first symptom was being barely able to get out of bed for hours when extremely stressed or overworked. By 2018 they managed light qigong and lightened kickboxing, but anything more left them exhausted for a couple of weeks. On bad days they needed a cane and had leg pain; CBD oil rubbed on the legs helped tremendously with pain, as did coconut oil.

coconut oil helps tremendously

A heating pad helps as well, but only for a short time because it ends up too hot after several minutes.

I also take really deep breaths and concentrate on feeling my feet and legs. It helps me feel connected to my body when I am in pain.
