Summary
A person with moderate ME/CFS and POTS stays within their energy envelope, counting errands, laundry, cleaning, showering and gentle stretching in bed as activity, and says gradual aerobic exercise is something their body cannot tolerate. At a very mild stage of ME, when only POTS was known, they worked out fairly often and it only made things worse. They report no luck with exercise.

Their path
How ill they were on the ME/CFS severity scale, estimated from what they describe at each point, in the order they describe; they don’t give enough times to place each step. Hover or tap a point. 1 step says too little to place on the scale and is only in the table. Dates are when they posted. What the levels mean.
