Summary

Undiagnosed, the user described roughly two years of extreme fatigue at work, then a two-week spell of being completely bedridden and barely able to walk. They improved enough to return to work and said their symptoms were better, though they still tired easily and had no energy at all on days off. They asked whether others recognised the pattern and what to do next.
