Summary
They had been ill for 10 years with constant pain and exhaustion, and by 2018 were still lifting weights three times a week, doing daily cardio and taking supplements, none of which helped. They felt about to faint through the day and once fainted for three seconds in a public pool. They said they could not drink or eat unhealthily, and had thought about suicide for ten years.
