Summary
A person posting in r/cfs in July 2025 said they had been bed bound with ME/CFS but were no longer, calling themselves 'just someone who's unfit' with extreme fatigue now rare apart from their period or when ill. They credited nervous-system retraining from a YouTube 'cfs recovery' channel, IV Myers cocktail infusions to kickstart their immune system, sunlight, a sleep routine, anti-inflammatory food and gentle stretching.
