Summary
A person with chronic fatigue describes fatigue, dizziness, feverish flu-like feelings after exertion, pain and body aches, which doctors in their country attribute to anxiety, depression and lack of exercise. They force themselves to 5,000 steps a day despite dizziness and foot pain, hoping to show no improvement so doctors look for a cause. Medication trialled for depression and anxiety was stopped because of serotonin syndrome.
