Summary

A woman with ME/CFS and POTS, plus hEDS, ADHD and fibromyalgia, describes constant malaise and pain from exhaustion and persistent trouble pacing, with her heart rate reaching 122 on the toilet despite beta blockers. Something she takes helps her pain but not her fatigue, and she uses the TachyMon app to watch her heart-rate limits. She bought a lightweight mobility scooter for about $400. No recovery is described.
