Summary
This patient, describing "horrible paralysing dehumanising fatigue," started 160-200g of whey protein a day and added zinc (25-100mg) the following day, reporting symptom improvement within 1-2 days and stating the combination eliminated his fatigue over the 14 days he tracked. No follow-up beyond that 14-day window was available to confirm whether the effect held longer-term, and his low-albumin hypothesis for why it worked was untested.
