Summary
A Reddit user with CFS reported in May 2021 that they had improved so much after devoting energy to self-care, and that losing weight had eased their back pain, though they said only back pain had lessened. They still had fatigue and felt a little shaky on a pill-free day, but had found ways of compensating for it. They described standing straighter as they lost weight.
