It's a bit lengthy to go off-topic about it but summarized: My body can't properly utilize energy for my muscles, which results in 24/7 chronic pain and muscle cramps during physical activity. A special team of doctors like on House MD took my case around 8 months ago because nobody else could find a diagnosis or any anomalies. They found that a carnitine (required to provide energy to muscles) deficiency is the cause of the problem and are running a DNA test to confirm their diagnosis, which is adult onset CPT-2 deficiency. Thanks to carnitine supplements I can now talk normally again as it used to be very exhausting but I still have trouble doing small household tasks. The cramps aren't as bad in the shower anymore and I have a little less trouble cleaning, making my bed, ....what's your illness?
I can go outside but physical activity aggravates my symptoms and a few hours of chilling with friends or running errands results in 5-7 days of aggravated chronic pain and soreness from head to toe so I spend most of my days at home. Might as well take all this time and learn about new things.
