Summary
They reported severe ME/CFS and being bedbound; pacing, they said, let them keep living independently and enjoy television, books and hobbies in bed. They watched for worsening, which for them looked like noise sensitivity, and used cannabis despite guilt, saying it seemed to improve some symptoms. No onset date or trigger was given, and they described no recovery from ME/CFS.

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.
