Summary
Posting as FortheBeautyoftheEarth on Mumsnet, this user describes B12 injections given every three months, a double dose of Desunin 800 (vitamin D), and folate supplementation, with vitamin C mentioned as something still to try; no further doses or a specific drug regimen are given. The post doesn't state how severe or long-lasting their CFS symptoms were beforehand. They say they discovered undiagnosed nutrient deficiencies, including B12, underlying their CFS symptoms, and improved after treating them, though no percentage or scale of improvement is given. The ongoing need for repeat injections and continued supplementation suggests the improvement requires continued maintenance rather than being a one-off fix, and the post doesn't say whether the effect has faded or held steady.
What they credit
Credits Supplements, B12 injections and methylation, Vitamin D and sun exposure.
