Summary
The user reported tiredness and low energy but gave no onset or duration. Drinking 3 or 4 pints of water daily helped energy for a few days; the benefit then wore off, and a week-long break brought the tiredness back, though restarting helped again. They also described periods of feeling normal lasting minutes to weeks before crashing back.

Their path
They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
