Summary

A month after an unknown virus caught on a flight, this person was exhausted all day, crying, unable to eat, unable to go to the gym or work on the house, and applying for disability. They already had eustachian tube dysfunction, tinnitus, hyperacusis, depression and anxiety from ear pain. Anxiety eased slightly but the fatigue did not, and a recent breakup made things worse.
