Summary
Meadow 27659 had CFS from about age 13 and was doing well for the past few years. In January 2019, aged nearly 19, they were only just getting through A level classes and too drained on getting home to get up for a drink, and feared a relapse. They restarted supplements that had helped before, unsure they would work again, and splashed cold water on their face to ease brain fog during exams.

- splash cold water on my face/neck · Helped
If I get clouded I go to the bathroom and splash cold water on my face/neck. It can help a little sometimes.
In context ↗ - supplements · Helped
Ive started taking some supplements again that seemed to help before, but I’m worried it’s not going to do anything this time.
