With fatigue, this is a good explanation, if you put your phone on the charger, you get up in the morning and it didn't charge, you only have 20% too last all day, that's what its like with fatigue.

They just don't understand what kind of pain you are in. It is a vicious cycle, pain, exercise, pain again, sometimes the least little thing we try to do elevates the pain. Not a good idea to push yourself and if people call you lazy, just avoid them! Try some yoga, slowly stretching seems to help.
I hear ya on this one!! I’ve gained weight and I feel like shit but how the hell are you supposed to workout when you are this sore?? I’ve finally learned to just block out all the negativity at home but it does really hurt inside!
