Summary
A person unsure whether they had CFS described light symptoms that still messed them up. Weight lifting left them exhausted with brain fog, unwilling to do anything else that day, and gaming lasted about 45 minutes before the fog set in. Three weeks without weights and a two-week deload brought no relief, and eating in a calorie deficit made symptoms about twice as bad.
