Doing a low carb (not sure if I am in keto as I am not measuring) to see if it reduces CFS symptoms. So far it seems to be helping.

Not sure why: if it is the low carb aspect or just eating less.

Thanks for the recommendation. Does the book also recommended low carb/keto?

I think CFS is also connected to the mind (don't remember correctly). You can see a presentation by the same guy: Dr. Chris Palmer - 'The Ketogenic Diet in Neurology and Psychiatry' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUtwr_6sFw4

It might be, I have read a dozen CFS theories from adrenal fatigue to lime disease to mitochondrial function to microbiome. I might just have too much candida?

I am basically a N=1 experiment to see what works for me in terms of management. I see a psychologist and have started meditation too to have another iron in the fire.

Yeah I’ve done lots of blood tests. Those make me look like a 20yo athlete :-). I am not.

I love it when someone say you should see a doctor! If only … I could see just one. I probably have seen 10. I love it when one doctor shakes their head about what the other one said.

But r/cfs is actually more useful for knowledge (doctors are good for getting tests done, I had blood tests, brain scan, sleep study, lime tests) and I guess as a sanity check.

Good luck! Don't forget to eat fat! Make sure to join a forum and ask questions so you're not doing things wrong.
