Summary
Fjord 12444 had episodic fatigue, chills, brain fog, muscle pain and tingling from their early 20s into their late 30s, while still working. Reducing gluten stopped the chills, brain fog and fever but left body pain, tingling and fatigue. After starting a sugar-free Bacchus energy drink, they reported the remaining pain and fatigue disappeared and felt recovered almost a month later, taking one can daily.

Their words about each treatment
- decreased gluten · Helped
I decreased gluten as much as possible and the chills/brain fog/fever stopped, but my body pain/tingling/fatigue stayed though not as bad as before
In context ↗ - avoiding instant coffee · Not said
For me the trigger was the instant coffee i was drinking. The flare up when i had the coffee doesnt compare to bread
In context ↗ - Bacchus (sugar free) energy drink · Helped a lot
I bought Bacchus (the sugar free one), but little did I know that my body pains and fatigue would magically disappear!!!
