Summary
A 23-year-old man who had felt exhausted, disassociated and foggy since age 16, worsening over seven years. He had tried testosterone, which brought no relief, plus B12 and vitamin C injections, many supplements, intermittent fasting and treadmill walking; low-dose naltrexone for a few days brought little improvement, and occasional Vyvanse helped a little. He still worked but said he could barely function, and had attempted suicide months earlier.
