Summary
A Reddit user with chronic fatigue described being so tired that even typing and driving to medical appointments were exhausting. They were allergic to wheat, birch and grass, and said allergies made their fatigue much worse. Cutting out wheat improved their life, though they still had chronic fatigue. They planned to start allergy shots for seasonal allergies and spring fatigue.
