Is this extreme malnutrition or am I developing ME/CFS after post-infectious weight loss?

after severe food poisoning in March locked up my upper stomach
Summary
A 6-foot man whose weight fell from 160 to 130 lb after severe food poisoning in March locked up his upper stomach and caused intense screen sensitivity. He was stuck at 130 lb for four months, and walking his dog for three minutes left him heavily drugged and sore like after a marathon. Switching to Kate Farms 1.5 shakes took him to 135 lb, and he expected to reach 140 lb within weeks, though the fatigue was still severe.

Their path
How ill they were on the ME/CFS severity scale, estimated from what they describe at each point, with time counted from when the illness began. Hover or tap a point. The chart starts 6 months after onset: the story doesn’t say how ill they were before that. 1 step says too little to place on the scale and is only in the table. Dates are when they posted. What the levels mean.
