Full remission after 7 years of ME/CFS - What worked for me
- Condition
- ME/CFS
- At worst
- Severe (mostly bedbound)
- Ill for
- 7 years
- Published
- Oct 2022
Summary
Followed the Golder Autoimmune Protocol for about three months (roughly 3 liters of water and 650g of raw cruciferous and leafy greens daily, plus chia or flax seed, iodine and B12, on about 1500 calories a day), then added low-dose Abilify at 0.75mg daily for about two months before stopping it. Ill with ME/CFS since age 12 after repeated viral infections, she was at first completely bedridden and later plateaued for years at about 50% function with a 6-hour energy envelope, seven years of illness in total. The diet took her from 50% to 75% function within two weeks and eliminated her PEM, and adding Abilify brought her to about 90%; catching a cold in March was followed by complete resolution of her remaining symptoms. She reported being in full remission for over six months as of the post, including no relapse after a later COVID infection.
