Summary

Puffin 92273 is a 29-year-old woman who had had moderate ME for four years by September 2020. She described pain, anxiety and brain fog that worsened around other people, leaving her unable to do anything and relapsing from the effort. She had stopped antidepressants and anti-anxiety medication because they left her feeling zombied, and was looking into high-dose mushrooms to help her brain reset.
