Summary
A UK user became ill after getting sick repeatedly at the start of the COVID pandemic and had no diagnosis beyond a GP offer of a CFS referral. Blood tests, an EKG, therapy and three antidepressants brought no improvement. They described poor mental health and trauma and wondered whether their symptoms were trauma-related, CFS/ME or both. No treatment helped and no recovery was reported.

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.
