Summary
Ill from May 2024 with extreme fatigue, insomnia, dizziness, migraines, night sweats, palpitations and brain fog, they were bedbound for the first months. With no diagnosis, they built a supplement and juice regimen, including high-dose vitamin D3, which they credit with getting their life back. A setback after Christmas 2024 made the supplements help less, but by April 2026 they were no longer totally depleted, though still resting after active days.
