Summary
Starling 56423 reported that a low-carb keto diet and four-day fasts helped them get better, along with sleeping propped up and using a CPAP machine at night, and that exercise eventually helped them push through. They gave no details on their symptoms, how long they had been ill, or how limited they had been, so the size of the improvement is unclear.
