Summary

Marsh 63806 has CFS and other conditions. In a February 2026 comment they said that if they ignored pacing and tried to live their life as usual they would and had ended up in the ICU; they stressed that pacing is definitely needed for most people and is a person-by-person matter, framing it as necessary to prevent that outcome.
