Summary
A Reddit user with chronic fatigue syndrome was told by a doctor using a VEGA device that they had imbalances or illness; the user felt skeptical and resentful, and the doctor charged a lot of money for diagnosis and treatment. By November 2025 they reported some improvement from herbal supplements, such as Astragalus and Oxymatrine. Duration of illness was not described.
