A course of Cymbalta and a course of Naltrexone. My supplements are Vitamin C, B12, CoQ10, and Nattokinase. I practice moderation which means I can't go past about 10 minutes in the gym which is not a good thing. Pre LC I was exercising 6 times per week at 45 minutes cardio elliptical and resistance. If I were to do that now I would PEM crash and spend weeks recovering. I am thankful for the efforts of Mayo, but nothing I have done so far has helped other than my own personal 'line' of physical and mental effort not to step over (part of Mayo's theory). While Mayo has a working theory that I followed it didn't provide a full solution for me. I have moved on to Dr Bruce Patterson. I wish you the best in your journey.

Thank you! We stumble around, manage a step forward on our own, and then lend a hand to another negotiating the same step. Zinc, selenium, and magnesium supplemets have been helpful for me, along with melatonin every night to re-regulate disrupted sleep pattern due to covid. The tryptophan, serotonin, melatyonin mechanism apparently gets disrupted with covid and doesn't return on its own. Some research indicates that with regular melaonin administration that mechanism can temd to self-repair. Right now, with melatonin every night because my system doesn't produce and deliver it as it should, my sleep is much improved.

A word on zinc. Don't overdo it - too much leads to MORE fatigue as too much zinc disrupts copper metabolism. Have backed off of 200 mg of zinc with good results; now at 30 to 60 mg per day from all sources and that seems to be working well. Absorbability is a also factor and sorting all this stuff out... sheesh.

I'll try upping my CoQ10, taking it and C more regularly; already on a good B vitamin regemin, and will also explore nattokinase, etc.

Will also check out Dr. Patterson. And again, thank you so much! What you just offered might be life-changing for me and others! God bless you!
