Summary
Gull 63185 had ME/CFS symptoms for about seven years, which they attributed to COVID, and was bed bound for a year, with brain fog and severe gut problems. They credited yoga, meditation, breathwork, a 90-day juice fast and other nervous-system and diet practices, and said symptoms cleared within a couple of months. No supplement or medicine helped, they said, and they reported being symptom free for years and back to normal life.

Their path
How ill they were on the ME/CFS severity scale, estimated from what they describe at each point, with time counted from when the illness began. Hover or tap a point. The first step with a time is 5 years after onset: the story doesn’t say how ill they were before that. The dashed part: the story doesn’t say when. 1 step says too little to place on the scale and is only in the table. Dates are when they posted. What the levels mean.
