I definitely did before I started a stimulant. I usually wouldn’t get those immediate effects at all, I would just get hit like a freight train...
Hm yeah I definitely think my ME/CFS has very different dynamics from yours—being mild I can usually always walk if needed (unless I’m already in...
If my theory is correct about why the malic acid works for me, I would only expect effects if taken ahead of time (I’d say at least a half hour...
Thanks! I’d be interested to hear, though no worries at all if you end up deciding not to.
Thanks so much for your example, that is really good to know. I also tried LDN and it didn’t do anything for me. Though I would also be curious...
I would just be curious for the people that didn't report a noticeable effect from the malic acid: did you happen to track whether you still got...
Update! I ended up making a silly mistake taking my stimulant before bed, so I had to skip taking it the next morning to avoid doubling up on...
I have a thread about my experiences here if you're curious! I actually first got an effect from the spice sumac, which is high in malic acid (but...
I don't think anyone's doubting that can be true in theory. I and others are arguing against the idea that worry of a broken body is actually...
Which could easily be explained by participants in the treatment arm simply being willing to push themselves a little harder and ignore real...
I think tests for both X and Y-->X would be useful in their own regard. A test for X alone would be useful for the reason that @Sasha already...
I agree—I think that it actually is unlikely that the state of PEM is a completely unique biological phenomenon in itself. What seems to be...
I appreciate you being willing to hear me out and sharing how you try not to pressure others you know into brain retraining. I also appreciate...
In one of my earlier comments I mentioned that any cognitive restructuring technique, be it early BPS theories, CBT, or this new brain retraining,...
Thanks for finding it!
The study that I linked in an earlier comment also shows that prolonged exposure to interferon gamma activation only causes them to release IL-6...
Thanks for sharing this paper! Interestingly I was just looking at this paper on how prolonged interferon gamma signaling results in changes over...
Haha thank you, that means a lot. It was really just a continuation of old family dynamics for them. I’ve done a lot of work so it doesn’t bother...
Exactly, well said! The only way out of it is to just not be sick any more. Under those kind of dynamics, of course I’m going to be skeptical of...
I don’t think I fully realized how little that is until now. Weeks of intervention just to walk around the corner of a city block.
