Summary
They described fluctuating energy, with exercise capacity swinging between 80% and 20% every couple of months. Weekly dodgeball was tolerable, but a weekend tournament reset the crash cycle. They also had weak legs, foot neuromas and chronic foot, knee and back pain, could not stand still for more than a few minutes, and lay down at home because sitting in a car or desk overwhelmed them. They had not recovered.
