Summary
Tried black cumin seed, in both oil and seed form, after reading about cumin helping PEM in this thread. Has ME/CFS with MCAS and possible mold involvement. Reports each time she took it she felt horrible, describing a clearly negative reaction rather than any benefit. Separately, turmeric with ginger had initially helped her but she discontinued it over vitiligo concerns, continuing to use ginger alone occasionally. No later follow-up on the black cumin itself is given in the thread.
