Humans of ME/CFS
My story started six years ago. I awoke to horrible fatigue, whole body weakness, and a racing heart. I was diagnosed with POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) a few months later. After every test (and I mean every test), I was given a CFS diagnosis. Some days I feel “normal;” on other days, my bone-crushing fatigue confines me to a wheelchair and I am bedridden. It feels like the most horrific flu for days, weeks, or months at a time.
