Summary
Posting in r/cfs in May 2016, Pond 89329 described a lifelong tendency to feel starving and faint soon after eating, which became much worse with their illness. They need animal protein every few hours and can now go about two hours between episodes, up from one hour when the illness began. A genetic fault in B12 metabolism had just been found, and they were about to see a functional medicine nutritionist.

They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
