Thank you for taking the time to respond! It’s very kind of you. May I ask what your main symptoms were and what you did to help yourself?

Also, what mayo clinic did for you? I am debating whether or not I should go that route.

@lshecky my main symptoms were Brain Fog, PEM, Exercise Intolerance, and a sensation in my head I now class as pain (because it doesn't feel good) that feels like dizzy, but not quite, dropping on a roller coaster, but not quite, and rocking. At no time do I feel like I am going to fall down, but the sensation is with me most of the day. I have been on supplements and through the Mayo Rochester program. As part of the Mayo program, Cymbalta and Naltrexone, now stopped per their plan. Today I feel better, not 100%, but better. That 'better' comes I think from healing, but also from knowing my boundaries. I still can't exercise as much as I once could or PEM kicks in. Per Mayo moderation I limit myself to 10 minutes elliptical aimed at leg strength not cardio. 10 push ups, 10 squats, 10 sit-ups. Mayo teaches moderation "treat yourself like an injured athlete, you can't go right back to what you were doing". Where once I could to 45 minutes cardio/resistance exercise, I can't any longer. My hopes are with time, all this passes.
