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?

I definitely have postexertional malaise. Recently spent about 2 months sitting sleeping in chair due to sciatica pain. I have hurt shoulder and hip because of overall weakness so still recovering from that. I thought lyme/mold infections cured after 2 years good treatment. So I can’t tell if I get lyme/mold flares, or still weak from sciatica or in fact it’s CFS. Thank you for response.
