I had 8 or so months of post viral illness/chronic Fatigue, although I seem to be nearly better. Your post struck me with a few points.
* I was a very active individual to the point that people would wonder where I found my energy. You mention being quite active. My readings on the illness seem to indicate that highly active people are at more risk of developing a post viral illness/chronic Fatigue.
* Avoiding over exertion - at around the 5 month mark of my recovery I realised that if I paced myself I was largely symptom free. Keeping myself quite and having a relaxed pace would mean I wouldn't be stacked with exhaustion.
Sorry to hear your condition didn't improve much. Did you get / do you get sore thighs and shoulder muscles? My exhaustion was always paired with those two muscle groups being quite sore.
