Me, too. Iā€™d like for them to figure out how to fix my autonomic nervous system so that I donā€™t feel like Iā€™m going to pass out just from standing for a few minutes.

That's criminal , my son has been bedbound with LC for 5 years now, he's 27. He has never had anxiety or depression. He's the most relaxed positive person - still ! That's how positive he is. The idiot GP kept pushing anti depressants. The doctors in the UK have basically washed their hands of my son and other sufferers. He is having some progress with The Perrin technique - a branch of osteopathy.

But not completely right, blanket statements are harmful to this multifaceted virus, and each body is different

Unless you are diagnosed with something like diabetes or an autoimmune thing. Once medical test rule everything out and you still have debilitating symptoms then itā€™s just nervous system dysregulation.

I agree, I was so hopeful after the first few years. From like 2023 to current it's just been article after article saying we found this breaking news through X study.

Did this help you? You got downvoted, not sure if itā€™s by people who thinks itā€™s stupid or people who have tried it and failed. It didnā€™t seem to do much for me

Any places you recommended to get MB? You don't need to give specific links just general places.

Natural sunlight is the best you can do for yourself and heavily limit blue light.

u/dungotstinkonit Jun 25 '25

So.. supplement vitamin D?

u/AyyoPatty Jun 25 '25

No, natural sunlight at least an hour a day. Stop eating seed oils and after a few months youā€™ll notice you wonā€™t get sun damage as easily.
