Yes. It’s physical exertion. I can see that I didn’t make myself clear. I can be on my cell phone, iPad, and watch TV while I’m resting, and those are fine. I have an oversized couch that I spend most of my time on. Because it’s so big, I can sort of semi-recline with my head back. For me that is a resting position that keeps my exhaustion at bay. I have to sit at my desk to use my computer. It’s the sitting up that’s difficult & the amount of time I can do that is limited. Same with standing. I can stand & walk around. The amount of time depends on the moment.

I haven’t gotten any other symptoms.

I don’t take any medication, just supplements. The ones I take have been recommended to me by my nutritionist & intergrative doctor. They’re working together.

I’m not able to exercise much. I walk some, and ride my elliptical machine. Both of my doctors - my regular GP and my intergrative doctor - said not to exercise too much. It can do more harm than good.

The best advice I can give you to deal with these symptoms is to listen to your body. If you push yourself, you’ll feel worse, and it will take you longer to recover - not overall, but from that particular moment. For me, I can rest & stop my exhaustion, or at least keep it from getting worse, or I can push myself, and not be able to function, sometimes for days.

These have been the two hardest things to overcome: The feeling of acting like a wimp when I’m normally an active & productive person, and having other people tell me that I should just go, or do, and treat me like I’m being ridiculous. I had to get past these things. I really have no choice other than to listen to my body, and do what it tells me to do.
