Summary
A 21-year-old woman had chronic pain for five years, with flares of months and remissions of about a year; in 2025 she went to Spain for Erasmus but began having extreme fatigue and unexplained anxiety. Since September 2025 the pain returned and the fatigue worsened. By January 2026 she was exhausted, unable to do anything for most of the day after a walk, groceries or social contact, and her blood tests and MRI were normal.

Their path
How ill they were on the ME/CFS severity scale, estimated from what they describe at each point, with time counted from when the illness began. Hover or tap a point. The chart starts 4 years after onset: the story doesn’t say how ill they were before that. 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.
