Summary
Bluebell 89671 has had ME/CFS for more than a decade, with better and worse periods, and describes chronic pain. In March 2025 they said they take ritalin for ADHD, which gets them through their work day but leaves them crashing hard when it wears off. By January 2026 they reported doing much better, and said pregnancy had given them more energy and a break from the pain; they were being careful not to overdo it and crash.
