Summary
Stone 11549 wrote in 2024 that they had had bladder problems for seven years and CFS symptoms for even longer. They were fatigued all day, woke feeling like a zombie, and had flares when dieting to about 15% body fat, wondering if overtraining was involved. Hard gym sessions seven days a week gave them temporary relief and energy, and Flomax improved their bladder flow. No overall improvement was reported.
