Summary
Became ill in mid-2022 and never recovered; symptoms included severe fatigue, hand swelling and extreme weight loss, and raising daily calories to around 3,000 stabilised their weight. By May 2024 they could not work, were pushing hard not to be bedridden and were depressed and suicidal after their relationship ended. By August 2024 they were taking walks with a rollator, described as the most enjoyable since getting sick.
