Summary
Orchid 64295 had been unwell and suppressing it until they hit the wall, with a positive ANA and blue legs and feet. A doctor told them the cause was a sympathetic autonomic nervous system disorder from autoimmune or trauma, and prescribed low-dose naltrexone. They said it changed everything they had thought normal physically and woke them from a mental coma, and that they would probably be dead without the doctor and the medicine.
