Summary
Canyon 17285 went from functioning normally to completely bedridden overnight, with vertigo, headaches, pain, night terrors and night sweats. An acupuncturist's treatment gave a partial improvement that plateaued. A hydrogen peroxide protocol they read about helped dramatically and overnight, though it did not cure them. Later they said black seed oil, apple cider vinegar and a clean diet mitigated most symptoms and they were looking for work.

Their path
How ill they were on the ME/CFS severity scale, estimated from what they describe at each point, in the order they describe; they don’t give enough times to place each step. Hover or tap a point. 1 step says too little to place on the scale and is only in the table. Dates are when they posted. What the levels mean.
