Glad I covered myself—as President Trump might say it was a perfect post. Sort of.
I do feel sorry for the truly disabled, including people who have chronic fatigue as you said.
Before I diagnosed myself on my own and took two years to convince the MD she should treat me for hypothyroidism, I had bad fatigue, brain fog , hot flashes and muscle and joint pains. The MD is one who agrees to treat only if she is covered for malpractice by what I call a “sports score”-—a proven blood test result scoring at a number to show thyroid too low—as I already diagnosed for 2 years! The Rx took away some symptoms.
I struggled mightily to work to my age 71 retirement with that brain fog and fatigue. No disability, of course.
Yeah that brain fog is terrible- very hard to deal with- the fatigue is no picnic either i can imagine- my friend just looks awful some days- They explain it like having the flu constantly, and some days it even looks like they have the flu- they just look like something the cat dragged in- so i can imagine how hard it would be to try to work with symptoms like that-
