Summary
Moon 79357, 40, had moderate ME/CFS, living alone, pacing carefully and working part time. A COVID infection about three months before pushed them to severe: bedbound, wheelchair to the bathroom when able. They took magnesium lysinate glycinate for muscle twitches and joined online guided-imagery sessions, which they said gave them energy. Mould forced a move to temporary housing; they were applying for assisted living and still bedbound in June 2023.
