And this feeling never left me since then.

Summary
Lake 36423, a 21-year-old man, had about seven years of sudden-onset exhaustion from age 14, with unrefreshed sleep, brain fog, nasal breathing trouble and crashes that left him in bed for a couple of weeks after pushing through. He could still do basic self-care and worked a job that did not require moving much. He was diagnosed with vasomotor rhinitis, whose treatment did not help at all, and was waiting for a nasal CT.
