Summary
A person with chronic fatigue syndrome and muscular and joint conditions, and four children, described being exhausted by housework and family life and having their first night out in three years. Offered cocaine at a hen party, they felt awake and happy for a night, then used it now and then to clean and organise, crashing for two days afterwards. They wanted to stop relying on it and asked for other suggestions.

Their path
How ill they were on the ME/CFS severity scale, estimated from what they describe at each point, in the order they describe; they don’t give enough times to place each step. Hover or tap a point. 1 step says too little to place on the scale and is only in the table. Dates are when they posted. What the levels mean.
