What about for 'mild' CFS though. Not bed bound by a long shot, but strong enough to dampen life - for me going to work is the main thing and I try to do little else. But I can do 40 hours a week plus help out a bit a home and that is quite maintainable IMO, but if I did 40 hours a week plus look after kids plus some exercise I think I would be fucked. Last time I started going to the gym again - boom - the flu symptoms come back after 3 sessions. Not really going hard.

Agree 100%.
Side note: I have had ME/CFS since 2003, (partially bed bound and mostly housebound, raising 3 kids with my wife who now is also diagnosed) when it knocked me out of my USAF Reservist and my systems engineering careers. I helped admin PhoenixRising.me (a charity & forums for ME/CFS patients and allies) for many years.
If anyone has any questions about ME/CFS (aka SEIDs) or coping with it, feel free to ask.
