As for Post Exertional Malaise, again maybe this was a complaint of theirs, but they only mentioned slow recovery times.
If their symptoms are severe, they're really underselling them with their descriptions.
>That changes the equation such that spending more than the computer hardware is worth is now worthwhile.
The worthwhile point of that particular analogy is comparing invasive procedures. Doing invasive procedures like wiping the hard drive and reinstalling the OS vs non invasive testing.
You get to a point where invasive testing is only worthwhile if the symptoms are severe enough because of the risks involved in invasive procedures.

A blood draw is hardly invasive and there is absolutely no reason why the tests cannot be cheap. Like $5 cheap - far cheaper than the $100K this person already spent.
