Summary
Crane 84763 had four months of intermittent fatigue from early 2020; their doctor said CFS was a possibility. They called their fatigue mild compared with others and had no clear PEM. Naps and qigong with deep breathing gave temporary relief, and large meals made them feel worse when they were already unwell. They remained undiagnosed.
