My recovery story
- Condition
- ME/CFS
- At worst
- Severe (mostly bedbound)
- Ill for
- 5 years

Summary
Ian says a specialist identified necrotic "cavitation" lesions in his jawbone and that surgical removal eliminated his years-long feeling of being "chronically poisoned," resolving most CFS symptoms. The first surgery's benefit faded months later when the surgical site healed over, and a second surgery was needed before the improvement held; other posters in the thread debate whether his presentation was really ME/CFS. He references the specialist/clinic by name.
