Summary
They had been chronically exhausted for as long as they could remember and wondered whether they had CFS. They were taking Adderall XR 25 mg for ADHD but said they seemed practically immune to stimulants, and caffeine did not seem to do anything either. They asked how to get through heightened fatigue before and during their period.

They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
