Chronic fatigue? Or is that just laziness?
Lot’s of people with long term disability insurance tend to suffer from these magical undiagnosable diseases with multiple symptoms and chronic fatigue is always one of those ‘symptoms’... Fibromyalgia, Lyme disease, etc., etc.
I can see why people with LTD insurance develop these diseases... It’s a scam to avoid working and still get paid... What I don’t understand is why all these celebrities suffer from them. What are the chances of getting bit by a deer tick on a Hollywood sound stage?
Chronic fatigue is a real thing for some people. Have you ever heard of Michelle Akers? She played women’s soccer and was the highest scorer for a while. She wasn’t lazy, but she has CFS. She had to retire way too early.
I do understand your skepticism, though. There are lots of people who claim disability but really aren’t.
Foolish post. My daughter was diagnosed with all 3 20 years ago, Lyme’s, Bartonella and Babesia. By the time we figured it out and got her tested it had probably been 8 years after a known tick bite at age 12.
Treatment for the two B’s was fairly straightforward but Lyme’s took 6 years of ever shifting antibiotics to attack the shape shifting bacteria over and over again. She has permanent joint damage. They like to hide in bone marrow and joints.
It was an effing nightmare.
Most of the people I know who have Lyme/Fibro/CFS/Long Covid give the appearance of having Chronic Depression.
