In the early 80's I was diagnosed with CFS's Thanksgiving uncle, Epstein-Barr virus. I blame it on my choice to cozy up to another teenager, who was recovering from mono. High school with chronic brain fog was like you'd expect but I did enjoy scaring the school nurses with 70/45 bp. I used risky behavior as a coping stimulant. Adderall made everything life-chagingly better. Not until my 40s unfortunately - to which my now (adult kids) can attest.
