Summary
The Reddit user posted in r/cfs wondering whether their long-standing symptoms fit ME/CFS. They described getting sick after too much activity in a row, breathlessness when sitting or standing for long periods, weak muscles and feeling lightheaded. They had been tested for asthma and given speech therapy that did not help, and also had diagnoses of depression and ADHD. They could spend about half a day out doing things, and usually avoided doing something the next day.
