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 first step with a time is 2 months after onset: the story doesn’t say how ill they were before that. The dashed part: the story doesn’t say when. 2 steps say too little to place on the scale and are only in the table. Dates are when they posted. What the levels mean.
