In their words
- Condition: ME/CFS
I’m not sure if I have CFS or not but it’s something I’m looking into ... I have been having extreme fatigue for over a year now
In context ↗ - At worst: Mild
I can also exercise regularly but it takes a mighty dose cellucore C-4 to get me out the door and sometimes that doesn’t work.
In context ↗ - Now: No benefit
it has gotten so bad that I think there has to be something else going on

Summary
In January 2025 they reported extreme fatigue for over a year, having put it down to depression and PTSD, and dozing off within a couple of hours of waking. They could still exercise regularly but needed a large dose of pre-workout C4 to get out the door. A slow-release B12 patch did nothing and an orange gave 30 minutes of energy. They were unsure whether it was CFS and planned to have testosterone checked.
