Honestly, this seems like a waste of money to me. We would know by now if NAC had a significant effect on ME symptoms in a significant number of patients.

What do you mean by the internet archive? As in archive.org?

It would be good for someone to catalogue these NHS materials. Does anyone do this or know of anyone who does?

Thanks. My vitamin D level is fine, and is actually probably quite high at the moment because I'm supplementing with a 5,000 UI dose.

I don't take any medication really, and never knowingly had any problems with sugar or salt levels. But who knows.

Pain is not a huge issue for me. But last night I was awoken - must have been around 3 am - by a horrible deep ache in my right leg. It almost felt like bone pain. I think this has occurred a few times before in the past. I managed to get back to sleep after 20 mintues or so. Has anyone...

It needs to be stated again that medicine really doesn't understand fatigue, nor know how to treat it.

What a blatant waste of money.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5859338/ This is an n=1 case study, but this patient had IBS, fibro, and OCD (which I suffer with) and improved on a low glutamate diet. Edit. Just noticed one of the authors is an author of the study above. Hmm.

There's a myth in our community that we'd all recover under the right circumstances - avoiding PEM, stressors, being able to rest at all times when needed.

Of course, the largest of many elephants in the room is perhaps cannabis, which barely gets a look in due to lack of evidence (read lack of studies).
