Summary
The person described brain fog, confusion, slurred speech, twitching and extreme fatigue; energy was so low they could only take a short afternoon walk before needing a nap or sitting with eyes shut. Ten days after a colonoscopy with a 2 cm polyp removed, their brain fog was much worse, though procedure recovery was otherwise good. They said it felt like their illness was getting worse over time.

Their path
How ill they were on the ME/CFS severity scale, estimated from what they describe at each point, in the order they describe; they don’t give enough times to place each step. Hover or tap a point. 1 step says too little to place on the scale and is only in the table. Dates are when they posted. What the levels mean.
