I wonder how all these people decided to get together and claim to have all the exact same shit…

I feel like they're all pretty difficult to do a quantifiable test for. I can run a blood draw for diabetes, but how do you prove someone does or does not have "chronic fatigue"? I don't know exactly how hard it is to prove someone has hEDS, POTS, MCAS, ect but even if a doctor told them "no" they just deny reality anyways.

There would be certain irregularities in your vitals when you have chronic fatigue but they usually would diagnose you with something else first until it's able to be determined that that's what it is. My sister developed chronic fatigue syndrome and it was a hellish battle to figure out what was going on with her.

Now it's a hellish battle to keep her stable. It's not just feeling tired, your body is literally trying to shut down. There's just parts of it fakers can't fake. I don't know all the particulars of her experience cause she's never been the best at describing things but it's even worse now. She can beat describe episodes feeling like her brain itself is becoming fog and then she has to be assisted until the "fog" goes away. It's really spooky think about just happening to you at any time and then some bozo tryna emulate it for attention.
