not technically a provider of a service but i remember having an instructor for a class i was really excited for, who NEVER graded my work, i think at one point he was 8 weeks behind on grading in a 16 week course. around week 14 i was annoyed bc the final was coming up and he hadn’t even graded my midterm yet… and then i got the email he had died. definitely changed my perspective on what I view as important vs what ACTUALLY matters at the end of your life
I don't know what happened to my OChem professor in college but the guy was a great professor, clearly loved the subject, very animated and busy (jumped on a desk at one point to properly display a chemical attachment), then suddenly 3 weeks before the end of the semester he disappeared. We were just told he was ill. He wasn't around the next semester either. The semester after that he finally came back and was a completely different person. People who took his class said he had to sit in a rolling chair and push himself back and forth in front of the board, pointing at things with a yardstick to explain things all while just seeming exhausting and tired.
I hope he's doing better now but it made me incredibly sad to know someone who was so happy and vibrant and active got hit with something so hard that all he could do was push himself around in a rolling chair while getting out of breath. Dude was dedicated to his subject.
Known to be Lively animated and enthusiastic, then gone suddenly for a semester and comes back exhausted and deflated sounds a like it was a little more than chronic fatigue, would the onset be that sudden and drastic? How would you even find this out?
I think I might have chronic fatigue but how would I know? Did u get tests done or something or is it self diagnosed? Not trying to be a prick, I just don’t know enough about ir
Unfortunately its a differential diagnosis, like any other causes get ruled out and then if your symptoms persist its probably cfs. But i developed a plethora of symptoms over night after my infection and cfs is only of them. It certainly got better over time but at the beginning of it id be exhausted all the time and could easily sleep more than 16 hours but even after sleeping id feel tired
I have both of these. It definitely could be. It could be a bunch of different things. Any chronic illness or extreme acute issue could cause this. Unless you have inside info that we don't have, it's a stretch to just say you know for sure that it isn't either of these.
Yikes, nothing to "own up to" here. People get unwell, for all sorts of reasons, controllable and uncontrollable. Don't ever need to disclose to others what the details of your health condition might be, it's nobody else's business shrug 🤷♂️.
