Summary
Glacier 36700 had been ill with ME/CFS for around four years by May 2022. The condition had paused for nine months, then began creeping back, and they found themselves needing to take some time off work. They were asking how to describe the illness to a third-party leave team after a former employer had dismissed it as being 'just tired'.
