Summary
Cove 28698 fell ill suddenly in November 2015 with severe fatigue and fibromyalgia symptoms and said they felt the same or worse since. They tried monolaurin but could never take it more than two days because it caused flu-like feelings, gas, bloating and stomach upset. Two months of keto in 2018 brought a racing heart, anxiety, breathlessness, dizziness and brain fog after meals they feared was autonomic dysfunction. They still had CFS in August 2018.
