i have chronic fatigue myself- and know how debilitating it is- especially the PEM- (Post Exertional Malaise) (if you aren’t aware- that is one of the main symptoms of CFS- it is where the body crashes a day or 2 after doing something physical- and is what actually causes the disabling effect of CFS in folks that have it)

I hope they can get you on the SSA soon- CFS is awful-

Oh yeah, I know all about PEM and CFS. Even tasks like simple grocery shopping require a rest time when I come home afterwards. Thankfully it's not as bad as it once was, but that's only because I pace myself and don't do a lot of work at any given time.

I have SSI, and a govn annuity coming in, but it's the SSDI that's been the struggle, and of course the VA disability claims. I want to get the financial aspect to my life circumstances settled so I know what I have to work with and can make life choices accordingly.
