Summary
Meadow 74803 described extreme fatigue and an autoimmune issue; about two years ago emotional stress caused stomach ulcers. Flare-ups made exercise hard and left them sick for days. A full year of health followed, but the ulcers reopened and fatigue still affects them, and they had not worked in over two years before starting a part-time dance instructor job. Green tea was one cause of the ulcers reopening, so they asked how to stay awake without caffeine.
