Summary
A Reddit user in an ME/CFS forum described a moderate flu, extreme fatigue and random exhaustion, and mentioned IH and vitamin D deficiency, with one fixed and the other not. They said an eye issue went away after eye surgery. After three visits to a clinic in Mexico they felt much better and less pain, and later said they were on the right meds and a beta blocker helped them do things even when not taking sleep meds, while their doctors suspected an up-and-down cycle.
