Summary
A Reddit poster reported always feeling exhausted when trying to read documents, often so bad they could not sit up and had to lie down. Adderall was the only thing that had helped, but they said a doctor tested them, called them fine and would not prescribe it. Having better coffee recently left them less fatigued but still unable to focus.

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.
