People often respond to the cognitive symptoms, and fatigue, unrefreshing sleep etc with saying they feel exactly the same. So I tell them that this is something that makes you unable to work. That seems to work a bit better. And I know some people can work, some do part-time but I think this...

I actually tried to get used to alcohol again because I was thinking maybe I'm just not used to it anymore. And since I am still relatively young, with time, I could probably retrain my body to tolerate alcohol better. But it didn't work, it was always the same sick feeling even from one glass...

Similar story here, I absolutely associate the development of my alcohol intolerance with my ME triggered by Epstein-Barr. Before that, I could drink like anyone, maybe a bit less due to my size.

Thanks! I actually read about lipedema before and stage 1 of that does look a bit like how it is distributed on my legs (mostly the upper legs but not really the feet). But mine also affects other parts depending on the time of day and gravity and can change quite rapidly and significantly in...

I'm kind of like you. I do have PEM but my threshold is very high, so I have to do something really demanding to trigger it. However, I am almost always in a state of worsened symptoms due to extreme weather sensitivity, to the point that I cannot really work or plan because I never know when...
