Thank you for the assistance, Colleen!

I’ve never been diagnosed with ME/CFS. I’ve done a lot of research over a period of many years, and ME/CFS is the only thing I’ve found that explains everything. So I was hoping if I start treating my symptoms with what helps others, maybe I could do better.

In a general way, the most burdensome issues are mental fog, muscle weakness, and exhaustion that does not go away even with rest.

Lately I’ve been having a period of extra difficulty and symptoms: shortness of breath, dizziness, headache, extra tired and weak (more so than my “normal” tiredness and weakness), and frustration/depression over being unproductive and feeling useless and hopeless.

Does anyone else find that they feel guilty, useless or full of shame for not being physically or mentally able to do what they feel like they should, or that others seem to do easily?
