In their words
- Condition: ME/CFS
I feel like it all might add up to ME/CFS.
In context ↗ - At worst: Mild
I'm not stuck in bed, but there are days that I might as well be, that I'm barely functional.
In context ↗ - Now: No benefit
I'm on an absolute raft of medications to help with it all but they lead to marginal improvement at best.
In context ↗ - Began after: nothing they could name
nobody can find a root cause

Summary
A man in the US in his early 50s described chronic fatigue, body aches, insomnia, brain fog and depression/anxiety, plus diabetes, sleep apnoea and low testosterone, with no root cause found. Treatment for each gave only marginal improvement. He was not stuck in bed but had days he was barely functional, and wondered whether it all added up to ME/CFS.
