Summary
Badger 56496, posting in r/cfs in July 2026, said high-dose thiamine was the only thing they had found that made a significant change in their post-exertional malaise. They began with 300 mg benfotiamine daily and later took that plus 100 mg thiamax, noting that both absorb better than regular thiamine and should not be taken near caffeine.
