r/cfs ... those are the wise sages. They've heard it all. They know what to do. They know the BS. They warn each other about it.


That they do. I've been working through chronic fatigue for six years now, and I spent two years thinking it was somatic. No amount of meditation, therapy, socializing, antidepressants, or supplements made a dent. Thankfully I found my way to r/cfs which has fantastic advice on dealing with long-term chronic illnesses. It's a little depressing, but also freeing to accept that there truly is no cure to these horrible illnesses (there should be, but there still isn't). I'm glad I ruled out somatic symptoms so I'm sure that it's not that, but I'm also glad that I now understand that a lot of chronic fatigue is 100% biological. If I ever recover I plan to go into biochemistry to help all of these people who truly cannot be cured with today's technology.
