Ever felt like you need a nap after waking up? You’re not alone! This video is your witty-but-informative guide to understanding Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), also known as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), or the joy of having an invisible energy thief. We’re talking debilitating exhaustion no amount of espresso can fix, “brain fog” that makes you question your name, and muscle pain like you actually ran a marathon (but you didn’t).

They usually show up on your fingers, toes, nose, and ears—the extremities you probably forgot to cover with enough layers. They’re mostly harmless and will eventually go away when the weather gets warm (lucky you!), but in the meantime, they’ll be a burning, itching, painful reminder that you are, in fact, sensitive to the cold. Don’t scratch them, unless you’re aiming for a secondary infection—because who doesn’t love a two-for-one medical crisis? Pro-Tip: Warm up slowly. Think of your cold skin as a delicate flower, not a frozen pizza you need to blast in the microwave.
