Summary
Living in London with ME/CFS, this person had brain fog that lifted completely for a while after a burst appendix was removed, and wondered whether the antibiotics or weeks of barely eating were responsible. Taking antibiotics again did not help. They had many food intolerances and woke feeling poisoned, and months of sleeping on the left side made no noticeable difference.
