Summary
A 23-year-old man wrote that he had had the same symptoms as the person asking about CFS since at least age 17, and that they had worsened over the years. He was always tired and felt unwell after sleep however long he slept, and caffeine did nothing for him. Exercise and kratom raised his energy only briefly. His only diagnosis was depression, and an SNRI plus two years of therapy had not improved his energy at all.

Their path
They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
