===Severe ME=== A small study of severe ME/CFS described symptoms as fluctuating and unpredictable, with [[severe and very severe ME]] having severe symptoms ever day, and only some patient having very brief moments in which they could do "normal activities": <blockquote>"At best, energy fluctuations allow individuals to experience only fleeting moments of "normal". For example, Jane stated she was active for 2% of the day when she washed and toileted, whereas Lorraine was completely bedbound and dependent on assistance just to sit up in bed."<ref name="Strassheim2021">{{Cite journal | title = Experiences of Living with Severe Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis | date = 2021-02-05| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7914910/|journal=Healthcare|volume=9|issue=2 | pages = 168 | last = Strassheim | first = Victoria | author-link = Victoria Strassheim | last2 = Newton | first2 = Julia L. | authorlink2 = Julia Newton | last3 = Collins | first3 = Tracy | authorlink3 = |doi=10.3390/healthcare9020168|pmc=7914910|pmid=33562474|access-date=|issn=2227-9032|quote=|via=}}</ref></blockquote>
