In their words
- Condition: ME/CFS
Ok so I was diagnosed in mid May and my doctor started me on Amitriptyline to try to help.
In context ↗ - Now: Somewhat better
I'm almost back around how I was feeling before the move, but I can't tell if the medication is helping or making me take even longer to recover.

Summary
Trail 32655 was diagnosed with ME/CFS in mid-May 2024 after a big move with severe overexertion. Shorter shifts and sitting at work helped, but during a month on amitriptyline (10 mg, then 20 mg) they were far worse, and they could not tell whether the drug or the move was to blame. By 1 July 2024 they were almost back to before the move.
