Summary
A person with ME/CFS who could not tolerate prolonged noise or conversation found low-dose THC gummies (about 0.5 mg) alleviated sensory sensitivity; ibuprofen helped a little. Dextromethorphan did not prevent PEM but made it less severe, and THC had a similar effect. In August 2026 they reported that L-phenylalanine made a noticeable difference.
