Summary
The user had been ill about two years, spending months in bed and 10 days in hospital; doctors, tests, prescriptions and supplements brought nothing. Undiagnosed, they concluded from online research that an issue they did not name was their main problem. They credited the peptide SS-31 with a life-changing improvement, without describing what they could now do.
