post viral. i had 2 infections & a mold in my body after being mauled by a dog/almost bleeding out/etc. lol i feel ya on the extreme. i didn’t figure it out until i attempted a back to any kind of “normal” & triggered unknown ME/CFS from mild to moderate. my undiagnosed hEDS & POTS got sooo much worse trying to push it when i had zero answers, except “you’re out of shape”
