Summary
Beacon 97004 posted in 2024, five years into increasingly constant fatigue, intense abdominal and digestive pain, joint and muscle pain and weakness. Anaemia and low vitamin D were found, and an iron infusion normalised their labs without easing their symptoms. They had no diagnosis and wondered whether ME/CFS fitted; they were struggling to keep up with the mental focus their job required.
