(full disclosure - I'm not diagnosed with CF, just suspecting and lately leaning in a different direction, but that being said, I do have a lot of fatigue so I think I can help)

Summary
A Reddit user described a sudden onset of constant fatigue, low blood pressure, always feeling cold and muscle aches, alongside severe hypermobility and PCOS, and said they could not get out of bed at times. Self-massage with Active Release Techniques and gentler exercise eased pain by 15-20%, prescription vitamin D helped muscle aches and Wellbutrin made fatigue less horrible. They still could not do much at the latest post.
