Summary
Diane had sinus surgery, along with herbs, nutritional supplements, hormone supplements, and "serious meditation"; IVIG was also tried but had no effect. None of these interventions are given specific names, doses, or durations. She fell ill in her mid-30s after weaning her nursing infant, developing sinus infections, loss of stamina, weakness, body aches, and eventually high fevers that left her bedridden. By age 65 she reported being at 80% recovery, able to walk normally though not run, living a "normal" lifestyle, with no further detail on how quickly this level was reached or whether it has stayed stable.
