Can you say more abut what makes you feel alone? I feel like that from time to time as well, and that would be because I am too tired to follow what is going on, or because my world is so different from that of healthy people.

Until they come up with a cure for the virus that causes the symptoms, any amount of physical activity can cause a flare up of symptoms. it sounds like another way to push us to "try" another opportunity for disappointment after another effort at a suggested "way" to improve falls flat and it takes a week to recover.

When I had it in 1970 it was called Yuppie Flu and it lasted for over a year. As always I was ahead of the game and of course doctors did not beleive it 😃
Now:
Yuppie Flu. Yuppie flu is one of a number of names given to the condition of general malaise and fatigue accompanied by various troublesome infections which results when the body for one reason or another becomes chronically run down. The condition is known also as chronic fatigue syndrome and myalgic encephalomyelitis.
