Rosa age 25 in 1986, when she believes she would have met the SEID criteria developed in 2015. She became worse over the years and in 2003 was diagnosed and disabled with CFS. She now meets the CCC criteria with PEM "option". ME/CFS onset was age 17 and fibromyalgia since puberty.

In 2015 the SEID criteria were released. Rosa read about PEM and how it is delayed and makes ME/CFS symptoms including chronic fatigue worse. Her entire life fell into place as she never connected her worsening symptoms with increased physical or mental activity 24-72 hours prior.
