Summary
A Reddit user in r/cfs who works as a director in the development department at a major international non-profit and says continuing to work was a struggle after getting sick. They credit a supplement set (magnesium L-threonate, turmeric, electrolytes, fish oil, probiotics, L-arginine, B complex, vitamin D, NAD+) with feeling the best they had in years, and the Visible armband and app with pacing better and still managing to work full time.
