Summary
Pond 39266 switched to a primary care doctor who also specialized in Ayurvedic medicine, but was told to take ashwagandha and walk on the beach daily. Workouts left them feeling ill for days, and in spring 2025 extreme dizziness and fatigue came with agoraphobia returning, leaving them unable to leave the house to buy stock for their reselling work. Therapy and a change of mindset were a game changer for them.
