Summary
Posting in r/cfs in 2020, Bramble 38130 described fatigue and post-exertional crashes: a short set of push-ups could leave them bedridden for days, though they had also danced for seven hours at a 12-hour party and felt fine the next day. On their worst days they had a couple of naps, aiming for 10-15 minutes, and found that going over 20 minutes left them even groggier.
