Summary
Drank very strongly brewed chaga mushroom tea for ME/CFS marked by muscle pain, air hunger, shortness of breath and, at its worst, "intense trouble even forming a thought." Reports "significant (above placebo) relief" from the muscle pain, air hunger and shortness of breath, plus a "sense of warmth," each time she drinks it, explicitly noting this is "certainly not full remission." The relief lasts only around three hours per dose before fading, so the benefit depends on repeated dosing rather than any lasting change in the underlying illness.
