I've done incredibly well on an exercise regime, but 1) I don't have chronic fatigue, I have an exciting cocktail of genetic and bacterial problems, and 2) everyone had to figure out how to unblock my lungs first.
Of course, I still get really, really tired. But I can run 2 kms now, while really, really tired. (I fantasise about what it might feel like for someone else to run. Running, without the universe-is-about-to-end signals from my body?) And there are huge payoffs for me in lung function and general endurance. Hah! That bus I want to catch? I can run 50 metres for it now. And then survive a working day.
Beginning the process of exercising was fucking miserable. Excruciating. It took a long time and it hurt. But, you know, I'm trying to avoid a lung transplant, so I kept going. It's taken me two years to get to two kms from complete inertia.
