Just over a year ago, I had ambitious but realistic plans. I was traveling, hiking and exploring the U.S. as much as I could. Then, out of the blue I began struggling with pain and fatigue Every. Single. Day. That’s not just a little headache or I’m tired. That’s full body aches like I have the flu. That’s fatigue like I haven’t slept in 48 hours. That’s everyday. That’s my constant baseline. It waxes and wanes but it never goes away, at least it doesn’t for me. My normal existing is you on a sick day. Or hungover. That’s how I’ve lived for the last year and eight months.
