Summary
A Reddit user in r/cfs who described themselves as mild but sliding towards more severe after a COVID infection. After about six weeks of a supplement protocol, with minerals and electrolytes first and supplements added in order, they reported improving a lot, the slide halted and partially reversed. Occasional pathogen die-off set them back, but they stayed on a steady upward trend.
