Summary
They were unsure whether they had ME/CFS, describing sinus pressure, headaches, dizziness, stomach upset and a feverish feeling that came a few days after exertion. Symptoms eased after they got a humidifier and while on a hospital sodium lactate IV drip, and they could still go out for several days before symptoms appeared. In their last posts the symptoms were still coming on after exertion.
