I'm chronically ill and had bad fatigue. I am a small, skinny woman with no muscle.

So, first time a doctor asked me if I did CrossFit, I thought it was a bit odd but didn't think too much about it. The third time a doctor asked "Do you do CrossFit?" I replied "Does it look like I do CrossFit?!" and she was like "Yeah, it does."

Apparently it's not uncommon where I live that there is some sort of vegan CrossFit disease, where the 80% of the treatment is is to stop being vegan and stop doing CrossFit.

Interesting, I was vegan for about a year before starting CrossFit. Was gluten free, alcohol free, dairy free and exercised frequently and felt basically the best of my life. After starting into CrossFit I added meat back into my diet which basically became paleo at that point. After about 10 months the fatigue started.
Vitamin B12 deficiency?
