I got lyme 2 years ago. Lyme has been treated but I have chronic fatigue or lethargy..there is difference…, feel cold a lot, can’t eat normally. I get down smoothie w 40 G protein powder. Difficult to get down. Not hungry all day. Smoke marijuana in eve which allows me to snack. I lost lot of weight but gain most back. I do workout but greatly reduced to 1/2 hour every 2 days. Can CFS be treated? This group is helpful. Thank you.

Hi @dan1940, welcome. Let me introduce you to a few other ME/CFS members like @petuniamom567 @karina77 @rarelybees2889 @chaun2947 @clutch @sita @elik @jmmb @susangs @canadagal @sundance6 and others.

Dan, you might also be interested in reviewing the posts in this discussion:

Being active can be helpful. People with chronic fatigue syndrome who experience a worsening of their symptoms after physical, mental or emotional effort may have post-exertional malaise and it can last for days or weeks after the exertion.

Have you experienced post-exertional malaise? What helps you find a good balance between activity and rest, to remain active without overdoing it?
