I came down with a debilitating case chronic fatigue syndrome/ myalgic encephalomyelitis in the 70's, before it had a name other than "yuppie flu." After the first major 10-month bout, major symptoms cycled for the next 30yrs. It even messed with my brain. I've never recovered the stamina I once had.

It now goes by the acronym CFS/ME which many have never heard of or have any sympathy for. Rethugians still snicker.

As I type this my left arm is aching - it's just another random symptom.
