Summary
Oak 61741 has no diagnosis despite fighting for one for years, has been unable to work for three years and cannot manage trips longer than five hours. Years of stress-management work brought nothing; after reading a book on long COVID and chronic fatigue they began a slow, cautious supplement regimen. They report real progress and a positive change, though they say they are not good now.
