Summary
They had long-standing CFS/ME of unknown duration and were unsure whether pornography caused or merely masked it. Repeated courses of Nystatin, prescribed for a throat yeast infection, brought significant, unexpected improvement in brain fog, depression and fatigue; the benefit recurred when they tried it again six months to a year apart. They still felt better while taking Nystatin but gave no functional details, and reported no harms or costs.
