Summary
A 23-year-old non-binary college art student reports severe chronic fatigue predating COVID that makes basic daily tasks difficult. Symptoms include disorientation on standing, migraines worsened by standing, tingling in the arms, digestive problems, chest pain, brain fog, palpitations and legs giving out; an at-home tilt table test showed similar readings. Their doctor calls the results normal; migraine medications don't help, and they take Lexapro.
