Chronic fatigue would be a muscular condition, which is thought to result from inefficient muscular metabolism, which produces too much lactic acid and exhausts muscle cells.
Paralysis would be from the nerves going to the muscles not functioning. Obviously, if a person can still move, then it's incomplete or partial paralysis, or it may be called something else, but I want to use the word to distinguish it from fatigue.
I take T3 and caffeine and they don't work. Caffeine withdrawal causes serious muscle pain, not taking T3 reduces my alertness and mental functioning. T4 seems to reduce my alertness and cause fatigue.
Since my father has been complaining about feeling weak or tired, and so has my brother (who seems better now that he's working), I considered the possibility of toxic gas coming from underground. My condition also worsened, but I had it for many years, even living elsewhere. CO would cause headaches, which I don't have, and radon would cause coughing, so those are out. Our AC and heating system smells like soot when it blows (we had a house fire many years ago) and it would be good to get it cleaned, but it's not up to me, furthermore, that couldn't be the cause because people complained of tiredness just recently. I opened a window, and it doesn't help.
I did quite a lot of physical activity, but that was weeks ago. I've been resting and trying to get better, but I'm in a state of mild paralysis again. Yesterday, I felt the sensation of weakness in my muscles warning me, but I didn't expect such day-to-day movements to cripple me.
So it doesn't seem muscle-specific, it doesn't seem to be thyroid, it doesn't seem to be CNS hypofunctioning. It seems like paralysis, or an issue with peripheral nerves not being able to move my body. It could be this so-called "adrenal fatigue" which RP doesn't believe in, it could be an issue with electrolytes (definitely enough sodium, calcium, and potassium from diet, maybe low magnesium), or maybe with deficiencies of something.
Then again, I've been able to do plenty of exercise a few weeks ago, and some exercise a couple of weeks ago, so maybe I depleted a hormone or nutrient, or just wore out my peripheral nerves. But I don't get why I'm recovering at such a slow pace. I've been Peating for almost a decade and hardly eat any PUFAs.
I thought that I didn't want to go out because I was introverted, but I realized that it's simply not true. I like going out, but the perceived difficulty of that is kind of like an average person having to walk for miles. So instead, I removed the requirement to take a full shower and wash my hair. But even then, I know that if I move around too much, I'll have trouble doing day-to-day stuff, so I stay home. It's absolutely not normal and I don't know what it is.
