I’m so sorry that you are struggling. I have a lot of empathy for you. So far my journey has been shorter than yours(6 months), but that feeling of being stuck in a fog, exhausted, with a lot of physical issues is overwhelming. Initially I was told to just go home and wait it out as there is no cure. Finally after a lot of pushing I was referred to an integrated medicine doctor, who had very helpful advice on supplements, acupuncture, and massage therapy. For me I saw immediate improvement in physical symptoms after the initial acupuncture treatment. I was very skeptical initially, but I have felt a little bit better each time. I have had 5 sessions. And the supplements helped make some improvement in sleep and GI issues. With the improvement of my physical symptoms, my mental health has improved too. They are so interconnected. I now feel “functional” after 6 months. I don’t feel great, but can manage daily activities and can feel joy again. I am hoping that I will continue to improve and get back to my old self. I wish the best to you in your healing journey.
