- ME/CFS
- At worst
- Moderate (mostly housebound)
- Ill for
- 21 years
- Published

Summary
Built a 21-year coping strategy around working from home with frequent lying-down breaks, crediting Gupta's Amygdala Retraining program, the Art of Living meditation technique, and whey protein supplementation with significant quality-of-life improvements. Illness severity beyond needing frequent rest breaks is not detailed. Reports these specifically, rather than the thread's featured strict pacing protocol, as what helped her. No relapse is mentioned, and the regimen is described as an ongoing coping strategy rather than a completed cure.
What they credit
Credits Brain retraining programs (DNRS, Gupta, ANS Rewire, Primal Trust), Meditation, yoga, breathwork, Pacing and the energy envelope.
