Summary
Housebound by post-exertional malaise and never sure how much they could do without crashing for days, they had just started low-dose naltrexone in September 2024, alongside depression meds, and had stomach issues over the first three days. In December 2024 they reported being wiped out after a vaccine their doctor had suggested might help, and asked others how they had felt. No improvement was described.
