Summary
A Reddit user with ME/CFS who said they were not mildly ill and could not listen to music reported that B12, low-dose risperidone and mostly resolving a neck problem (CCI) let them listen to music again. They tried EFT tapping thousands of times with no effect on ME symptoms, and FemiVaxinum Neo cleared a candida problem while other symptoms did not improve. They also said one thing they tried did not help.
