In their words
- Condition: ME/CFS
Last time I did a CT, they had to flush my system with a lot of saline after the contrast and I felt great for the first time in ages.
In context ↗ - Now: Somewhat better
I've had some noticeable improvements with psilocybin ... I have noticed that my baseline remains a bit better after each time.

Summary
Comet 88666, whose illness and onset are not described, reported feeling great for the first time in ages after a CT scan with contrast and a large saline flush, and the same lift after saline before a surgery, while an MRI with contrast and little saline did nothing. Later they reported noticeable improvements in their baseline from psilocybin, saying the effect could taper off after two to three weeks but that the baseline stayed a bit better after each time. They warned that psilocybin can affect heart rate.

They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
