Summary
A Reddit user in r/cfs described needing a handful of night-time medications (amitriptyline, gabapentin, baclofen or tonmya, melatonin, magnesium, CBD) to sleep. They mentioned creatine, PQQ and thiamine, said a too-high liothyronine dose made them more hyperthyroid until it was lowered, and that more fresh air gave a significant improvement in symptoms. No onset date or overall outcome was given.
